Dear Sylvia Hazel Nell & Tina,
Thank you for the support. Dad is much better at home he has been on his medication for four days and as you said Nell, the anger has all but gone now. Dad is sleeping most of the day and nearly all night. His appetite is much better, but, his mouth is very dry also his vision isn't as clear as it usually is, it's probably the side affects of the medication. The aged care mental health nurse was supposed to come on Friday, but, some how dad's notes from the ward went astray and now they are chasing them up. Not very satisfactory, dad should be seen on Monday now, he also sees his GP on Monday. Dad has no idea he is on this medication so I don't know what the outcome will be if he is told.
Tina, today I told dad that I'll phone him tomorrow morning as usual, but I wont be over till the afternoon. My intentions are to have a break. I'll phone the home tomorrow, as, yesterday and today mum was firing on all cylinders. She wants to come home and boy, she has a bee in her bonnet, so I feel it's best to stay away. Usually, I see her every second day but if I find things not well then I go again the next day. First thing Monday morning I'm phoning the RN to request her urine be tested. No RN's on duty weekends and the ambulance is called for anything the carers can't handle. Take Care Taffy.
