My profile shows that Papa is at home, with Parkinson’s. He was, but the last fall did some damage so he went to ER, hospital, Rehab, the Extended Care. Well, darn if he didn’t talk his doctor into giving him one more chance at home. So he comes home this week. He keeps thinking he can beat Parkinson’s. He is 90 and will be living alone - the only option he will consider. He will have some help a few hours every morning for awhile. We’ll just have to see how it goes. For anyone following my story, yes I’m typing from Ohio tonight. Made it here for my Mother’s funeral on Tuesday. Then back to Florida Wednesday and Papa comes home Thursday. Crazy making times.
You doctor's must be some kinda fool! Hope this turns out as well as can be expected.
What kind of doctor does he have? Are you the HCPOA? I'm pretty sure that I might tell doctor that he is out of his mind and ask if he's ever treated someone like this under these conditions. I'm not kidding. I'd be pretty blunt and might even ask for his after hours number, so I could call it him personally for the next emergency. Take care and I hope things go smoothly.
Has your father been diagnosed with cognitive decline? I mean, magical thinking/poor judgment can be a sign of cognitive decline. Does doctor know this?
Ohio was cold. Funeral was so sad, but Mom looked beautiful. I will certainly miss our gab sessions late at night.
I’m going to collapse this weekend, hopefully. 🙃
