Arrrgh!!!!!!!
Some of you already know what is going on with my dad right now. For those that don't, he is dying from prostate cancer. Used to be about 220 lbs, now down to 118, and close to the end. He also suffers from Alzheimers and dimensia. My mom insists on being his care giver, and she's no spring chicken herself. I've been trying to convince here to put him in an assised care facility, but she still has him at home, with periodic assistance from Hospice.
The guy should not be at home. He has no clue where he is anyway. I had to get the guns out of the house a while back. When he was still somewhat mobile, he was flooding the garage with gasoline (I guess he was trying to fill something). He carried knives with him all the time. Just a freakin disaster waiting to happen.
And now I just got a call that he got out of his hospital bed (which mam had put in their bedroom), and decided to walk downstairs. He fell, landed on the marble floor in the foyer, bled all over the place, broke his shoulder and possibly his neck. And there's mom having to deal with all of this crap, and I'm all the way down in Florida.
Why won't old people listen??????
