Hi everyone, im new here and would just like to say hello
My dad has been living with a diagnosis of alzheimers for about 5 years, mum (79) has been looking after him but it's all too much now. Dad was admitted to hospital 10 days ago after a reaction to his flu jab. He became aggressive and agitated and so was kept in and moved to a side room. He was able to walk and talk, although it made no sense and he knew I was there....move on a week and he's now pretty much bed bound after falling twice, not eating, not drinking, completely incontinent, has no idea I'm there, hardly opens his eyes and has someone with him 24/ 7. Does this sound like I need to prepare for the worst and soon? Nurses say they can't ( or wont) tell me anything and speaking to a Dr is impossible. I know they are all busy but it's my dad! X
