Have been told today that my Dad has Vascular Dementia and also Alzheimers. He was sectioned under a section 10 days ago following a threat to take his own life. He has always had temper and they have had to restrain him on several occasions since he has been admitted.
We were told today that the chances are he will never be able to return home and also unless his anger can be controlled he will have to be moved to a specialist hospital which is over 100 miles away from home.
Dads Dr described him as 70/100 at the moment, when I visited Dad yesterday he was on good form and I felt he would be able to come home with support.
This has come as a terrible shock, like I said in an earlier post only a few weeks ago we didn't think Dad had got anything wrong with him.
I keep breaking down, so many negative thoughts, how do I tell my kids they dote on there Grand Dad.
