For those that know me, my Dad passed away suddenly early hours of this morning. All very unexpected, even though he had several life threatening conditions, one of which was a 7cm abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Hi BP was a bit elevated prior to bedtime, but it normalised, and was normal again at 11pm.
He had complained of a bit ofca sore back but this was not unusual and Dad always downplayed pain or discomfort.
At 2 am he was found on the floor in his room but Obs were fine , was responsive and no injuries.
At 3am asleep
At 4 am on the floor clammy, sweating and breathing erratically.
Ambo called. While on way, they started CPR but was pronounced dead.
All indications were that his aneurysm ruptured.
All rather surreal after Mum passing just 2 mnths ago.
I’d like to thank everyone who has helped me over the last 8 yrs.
Mum with Alzheimers, then Dad with MCI and later on Mixed dementia. What a road to travel!
Thanks also for accepting this Kiwi from down under.
I hope to pop in now and again and still offer and advice xx
