Had a rough week last week, lots of appointments, lots of delusions and aggression... and the like.
I've had a letter asking my very nicely if I would consider my husband and I going into the Assesment Unit for the day, and allowing him to be questioned my the Med Students and Senior House Officers.
It can be arranged (unusually) that his CPN can meet us there for part of the day, and the Hospital Discharge CPN take over later.
I know it will involve a LONG day for us, and that it will potentially cause more my husband even more exhaustion, and he could show his aggressive side....
Part of the tests are coing to be 'cognitive', and he always struggles with these.
We've (He's) done so many tests recently, but can't remember ANY of them, so having MORE tests will be like it's only JUST happening.
I haven't said yes, and have until the end of the week to decide.
Thing is, my husband is young, and quite an interesting patient.
He is now on Volume 4 of his medical notes !!
He would definitely make an interesting Case Study for the students, but I also know that it will be a long day for us both.
Anyone have any ideas?
Take Care,
DaisyG.
