Just to let you all know that rightly or wrongly we're taking Dad out of his assessment clinic on Sunday!
It turns out that the extreme agitation and confusion he was going through 10 days ago or so was due in no small part to horrendous constipation of all things, and since being in the clinic he has slept well and although still confused and frustated with not being able to 'get his words out', all he wants to do is come home - and we want him back desperately.
He's become a real hit with all the medical staff there because of his lovely manners and gentle ways, and whilst we're under no illusions as to what may lie ahead, for now we feel that he he would be happier and more comfortable in his own home.
Social Services have been informed and when he's home my parents will be getting a visit, and as I've said before, we're going to make sure we get all the help possible.
So what if he sees fairies at the bottom of the garden? If he can still potter to the local shop, sit on a bench in the sun, chat about 'old times', and spend too much money at the garden centre, then we will be happy.
Bless you all - I'll keep you updated. XXXXXXX
