Hi - honestly feeling distraught.
Mum died in the summer and her end was just horrific. I was with her for her final ten days in the hospital, but I’m haunted.
Dad has quite advanced Parkinson’s but refused to go into a home and although I’ve asked him occasionally, we haven’t pushed it so soon after Mum leaving us.
A care package of 4 visits a day was set up, my brother is a five minute walk away and another fam member is in and out regularly.
He’s had a bad fall and due to being wedged up against the radiator, he’s sustained serious burns and was taken immediately to a specialist burns unit where he will be for the foreseeable.
Skin grafts might be needed.
Any of you with knowledge, what are the chances of him pulling through this all ok?
I feel SS will insist he’ll have to go into a nursing home - and for the record, my family agree. But we know he’ll hate us and I’m absolutely dreading the emotional fallout that will result.
I’m currently overseas working until March, for financial security not lifestyle, although I’m expecting to have to go home again soon because of this.
Your experiences would be welcome. Thank you.
