Dads had 2 falls and a " found on his knees " ( I've seen that happen, that's fiddling in his bottom drawer or under the bed and not being able to get up so I do t think that " counts") in past 48hrs again. He's more confused too.

Desperately working on avoiding admission if we realistically can. Meeting the advanced nurse practitioner later. Hope it's uti or similar - the only worry will be if he's bumped his head I guess.

If you've been following my saga you'll know we had a scary and frustrating time in the oval hospital recently that was definitely not in his best interest.

Wish me luck !

( typically I'm waiting for an appointment for me now so I can't really just go over )

I totally agree with you and that's the call we'll be making. It is cold season, lots of people hacking away down here.

Well done on the tree Smile

Not hugely optimistic for the weekend as he was coughing a bit when I left, but hey, even at nearly 92 you can have just a cold can't you !

Sugarplum I am just so determined to avoid hospital unless it's really in his best interest. It's just not the place for a very old chap with dementia.

Tree up - pretty fibre optic one :)

Thanks both.

Sounds like you're all having a tough time Flowers Your last post sounds more positive though, that is lovely he wants to find a tree.
