Now both my father's carers are unavailable due to Covid-19, it's down to us. He doesn't have particularly advanced needs, just help in dressing and washing. The only thing I ask him to do it to keep drinking so he doesn't get into further prostate issues.
I noticed now that he'd only drunk half a pint of squash today. I reminded him to drink a bit more and he said "Don't worry about it" in the supercilious way that he has been all his life. I had to leave the room as I do worry about it - he's been in hospital at least 3 times because he hasn't drunk enough fluids and it's so easily avoidable.
Sorry. Rant over. Just venting...
