I am a lurker in the found but have found reading others comments supportive over the years. Usually late at night when I can't sleep.
My dads 83 and had been in and out of hospital in recent weeks with an upper GI bleed vomiting agitation blocked bladder and a rash. He is now completely bed ridden. Have to see the doctor tomorrow as his fluid and food intake are minimal and he is being hydrated by an IV drip. They are looking to remove this. I don't think he will take in enough to sustain him long. I keep hoping he will have a quiet and quick passing but it doesn't seem this will be.
I am due to be on holiday from Friday at the other end of the country. I am not sure what to do for the best. I need a break it's been a tough year so far and I can't rearrange the holiday but don't want him to think on whatever level he is on I am not there even if I do find it almost impossible to visit and he appears totally unaware of my presence.
I want to do the best by this final bit of the journey. He's always done his best for me b
