I posted the other day as Dad was struggling in the heat, they thought with a UTI.
It's not apparently a UTI. He isn't really better. I'm sort of diagnosing a stroke of sorts from a distance here.
He is very unsteady on his feet, incontinent and hasn't been able to leave his room since Tuesday. Dr can't pinpoint the reason for it and suspects a sudden decline. I'm a day of driving away otherwise I'd have gone to see him already.
The care home have been brilliant but they aren't nursing and will struggle to deal with him if he doesn't improve.
Referral to OPMH has been made.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Is this decline trajectory likely to continue? I don't know what I should do next.
