Hi folks,
Well things have got worse since i last posted about Dad,
He started messing with electrics and the gas fire. Constantly going walk about at 2,3,4, in the morning really putting himself in danger.So we managed to find a lovely home for him and he went in last Friday.Dad's neighbour rang my sister at five to night to say your Dad is home he has just been dropped of in a car, WHAT! so we went dashing round to Dad's and sure enough there was Dad trying to get into his bungalow he had got a lift with a total stranger but thankfully the stranger was a kind bloke and safely took Dad home i dread to think what the outcome could of been. He had escaped from the home at around four o'clock as that was the last time they had seen him i rang the home at six and asked why my Dad was stood in his bungalow they didn't even know he was missing. It's written in his care plan that he likes to wander.I cant believe this has happened he wasn't safe at home and it looks like he isn't safe in a care home either.I could cry it was hard enough to make the move to put Dad in a home,my Sister and i feel as though someone has ripped our hearts out all we want to do is bring Dad home to live with us but we know we cant do it as he is so demanding we are physically drained and feel so ill.
