Arrived at dad’s this morning thinking he had an appointment at the hospital.It is next Tuesday not today. I had to cancel the taxi and rebook it for next week. I had written it correctly on the calendar but not on my phone.. What an idiot! Aw well. Such is life.
I cooked dad his lunch and then assisted him to the dining room with his frame.
The trouble is he then wanted the toilet so that was a palaver to get him into the Sara Steady. He had got caught short so good job he had Tena pants on. Getting the Sara Steady into the bathroom is a performance in itself as it is just big enough to swing a cat.Managed it though but next time I’m going to use the wheeled commode. But I know what dad will say(I’m 56 and still hate dad shouting at me).Cleaned him up and he is now in the wheelchair in the conservatory.
This is the 2nd time this week that he has appeared tired and yawning non stop.He is struggling sometimes to pull himself up so I think it will be time for reassessment on his incontinence. His incontinence is increasing so it’s time for a chat to the nurse. He only seems to have bad days whilst I’m here . But I think that is because I’m family.
