Well just as I have been writing on here and saying to my husband that we may have jumped the gun with all the talk of care homes, Dad was shocking last night.
Lovely when I got to his, he was watching Question Time and seemed to be following it - other that thinking he had been to school with Dimbleby!
So went to bed at 11 - but 12.30 he was back up getting dressed for work convinced people were telling him to get up. When I told him to go back to bed it was midnight he started flouncing around like a toddler and flops on the bed. He was up a further 6 times between 12.30 and 4.10am. When he got up at 4.10am I just let him go downstairs. He came up at 5am demanding his keys I said I didn't know where they were and he went away. Then was back upstairs about 6.30am asking for the keys again I asked him Where he wanted to go before 7 in the morning. He then started shouting 'who do you think you are, I am like a prisoner here' and stormed off. As I left the house at 7 am he was sulking on the settee. Refused coffee and breakfast and then started pretending to be asleep.
I used to think when he said people were telling him to get up or his mother was telling to gey up, or he could hear a knock on the door that he was dreaming these things. However, after last night I am now wondering if he is hallucinating. I feel like I have been mithering the CPN to death recently begging for help with his sleeping (which nothing worked for) I can almost hear the sigh already if I call and say he is now hallucinating. Is there medication that can help with this if it is the case. It only seems to be an issue at night.
