OMG Scarlet I have just caught up! I can't believe what you are now being asked to deal with. I am so sorry for you and John and send you my love as always. Your post reads like a nightmare. Whatever in the world is happening in the NHS that staff cannot perform a simple intervention and can refuse, actually refuse, to help with a patient. I despair! I pray for your return to the NH as soon as ever possible. Would that we could do anything practical to help you, but we shall just have to be content with sending you the strength of millions, through the ether. Take care of yourself too. So much love to you and John. Right by your side. X Shelagh:)

I'm exhausted with worry, and only hope things improve soon. John has become so violent and has been prescribed Trazodone - anyone had any experience of this? I wish we could fall asleep in each others arms and never wake up.

Scarlett I'm not sure what my OH was prescribed but when he was in hospital earlier this year he became very agitated and extremely 'assertive' verging on violent and some sort of tranquillisers were prescribed which meant he slept a lot and hadn't got much clue what was going on. I hope John doesn't have to be on them for long.

I am sending a great big HUG and hope life gets better v soon.
My OH on Trazadone and it reduces his anxiety and tearfulness. Also makes him sleepy.
Much love G x

Sadly it would seem that John's agitation / aggression is entirely justified by his current circumstances :mad:

I do hope things improve soon Scarlett and that you can get him back to the CH. What exactly are they seeking to achieve in the hospital?!? :eek:

Sending you ((( hugs))) and hoping you get some rest tonight :)

Sounds like the dear man is frightened, especially not knowing what's going on in general - never mind this latest lot. He'll need a lot of comforting asap, and so will you.

My heart goes out to you both.

I hope for a better day for you and John today Scarlett, I'm outraged just by the fact that he was hungry :mad: My dad, who didn't even have dementia was like a different person when in hospital, I can't understand why it affects so many people adversely in that way. Can it be a simple lack of understanding and attention? I do hope that he can go back to his care home as soon as possible. Take care of yourself too xxx

He's back at the Care Home, but so confused, poor man. He has such a wild and scared look in his eyes, and I feel we've entered another phase. His face looks sunken, and there isn't a vestige of the Old John left.

I rage against this cruel illness constantly, and feel absolutely and utterly useless.
