my father is now at the middle stage of alzheimers, he is totally confused and seems to be living in the past about 50years ago. my mother is disabled and last week we reluctantly had to have him taken into emergency care because of his wandering. he is very fit for an old man and has even tried to scale the high fence in the care home, which he thinks is his work place.
today i bought him out for the day and he won't settle anywhere, he keeps checking the time and saying he must go now, always to work.
i dropped him of tonight and cried all the way home, he was sat in a chair waiting for work instructions, thought it was the night shift, he wouldn't go to his bare lonely room. will he live for years and years like this, hes 82 and his mother died at 94 after having alzheimers for years, my dad only left hospital 2 weeks ago, where he never sat down and only slept for a couple of hours here and there, hes such a great man and we are all heartbroken
