Can you ask that he be admitted to a palliative care unit for some respite? It's a hard period to go through, especially if he's not accepting of services.
There is a full moon coming, which is very cleansing. I say burn it under the light of the full moon and let it be released.
I am never up this late, but I took Mr 10 to Hamer Hall to see the MSO play Return of the Jedi. Fantastic performance, and a good excuse for a day off school tomorrow/today. And I am that tired I cannot think.... goodnight peeps. Sweet dreams.
Rub the belly!
Our morning session is called the 'cold meat crew'. ๐ members assemble at the kitchen bench while Dad makes his lunch and dispenses slivers of whatever meat is bestowing his sandwiches today. It's funny how well trained we are!
They have us so well trained!
Clever doggo! We too pay the cheese tax.
I have three cats. Every time I open the pantry or a crinkly packet I get at least one and sometimes it's a trifecta. It makes it easy to do a headcount too. Oh and the dog is trained too, and will often beat the cats to the bench. It's their house,I just live here and refill the treat container.
It feels like you're having an affair for the first few days!
If he's still up and about, even if only to the toilet, he probably has a little bit to go yet although things can change pretty quickly. And sometimes it's the push that they need to get going (I don't mean to sound crass, long term community nurse) while things stay the same for him, he stays the same. But changes can trigger changes, and your mum needs some help. In similar situations, we've helped the wife with showering, saying it's to help prevent falls or to assess the bathroom or come up with some suggestions to make things easier.. After a little bit, wife steps out and all the sudden you have some services in place and we'll be back again tomorrow. It takes some skilled clinicians to make it happen, and sadly there's less and less of that around. It's a tough situation you're in, but don't be afraid to keep trying to get services in, he'll get to the point he can't be bothered arguing any more!
