We've been run through the mill with my poor dad. He had a fall in 2014, and broke his fima (thigh bone) at the top. He had the op and they put the wrong sized metal into his leg. Infection after infection, and a stay at the Nuffield hospital in Oxford, they decided they couldn't do anymore for him, and that he wouldn't be able to walk ever again. He was sent home, and my dm became his carer.
They'd send in carers 3 times a week, and when he was slowly getting better, they had the carers just come in the mornings.
Df was in and out of hospital with chest infections/bronchitis/pneumonia. He's always been ok, and come out in good health.
So, on Sunday he was blue lighted in, and was found to have kidney failure. He got progressively worse, and was put on dialysis. He hasn't improved at all, and if he hasn't progressed in the next few days, they are going to switch the dialysis off, as his heart is weak also.
I don't know what I'm asking, but I just need a hand hold ðŸ˜
