My dad has Covid 19, plus a chest infection, plus a weak heart. He is at home with my mum who has no symptoms so far. He is getting hospital-at-home - nurses/doctor 2 or 3 times a day.
The doctor told my mum today that nothing is helping and to prepare for the worst. That could be hours or days.
He is 400 miles away from me.
My sister, who lives closer, has 'visited', to stand in the garden and see him through the window.
I know the answer to this question, but do I have any options here?
Get on a train for 6 hours, stand in their garden for an hour, get another train home for 6 hours?
Drive for 7/8 hours, stand in the garden for an hour, drive home again for 7/8 hours? Or stay somewhere? Not in their house, of course. Sleep in the car?
And if I did do either of the above, what would I do when I get home? Self-isolate away from my dh and dd? All of us self-isolate?
I know what the answer is going to be. I should stay at home.
What then would happen about the funeral? Would the above options still apply?
Sorry, rambling here. Just trying to see if anyone has any thoughts or advice or a different perspective.
