My dad had lung cancer got better, had a brain tumour, got better & now appears to have his brain tumour (or another one) back
At the start of December he was OK, starting to walk with a stick, before Christmas he moved on to a walker, Boxing Day his left side lost strength
Since Monday he has fallen 5 times so the GP is suggesting this is it
We now have a hospital bed & table (awaiting a commode) I've had a curtain pole put up & curtain are up to protect his privacy with a screen as well
The Hospice at home are coming in the morning and the crisis team are ringing midday & in the evening to check what is happening
We are getting an emergency medication pack in case he gets pain for the district nurse
He has his digital radio & by Monday he should have a telly to watch
What else can I do?
