Sorry, this isn't news any more, and there's nothing more really anyone can say. But dad's still climbing the walls and I'm feeling worse and worse, whilst still feeling that it was the right thing to do to tell him. It's complicated by the fact that I found out they started him on amitiptyline the day after I told him his brother died. So I don't know how much is about Peter's death and how much could be reaction to the medication. His speech wasn't brililant but I used to be able to mostly make out what he was talking about. It's loads worse now, even when I can hear the words it seems quite random and rambling. Talking about staff killing the residents and settling the place on fire and destroying his clothes. His vision is worse, or he's hallucinating, trying to get hold of things that either aren't there or aren't graspable - like the pattern on the plate etc.
It's no worse than a lot of the rest of you are going through. But it's a heck of a change from how he was last Monday, and I'm still reeling from the shock of it.
Just needing another moan I think
