Yigabiss and to who could be of interest I am here! (update)

[Guest guest]

hello, to you Yigabiss who have wondered where i was and to all of

you, unluckily things are going very bad for my father. I dont know

if you all remember, certainly not, we are many on here, anyway my

father 77 had a surgery on june 13, due to a fracture to his femur

bone: he never recovered from that episode. After 15 days

hospitalization, we took him to a nursing home where he should have

had phisioterapy, phisical rehabilitation....He never did that...1st

day there was high fever and focus of pneumonia, after about 1 week

on antibiotic and practically no eating he got a little better. He

was put on a wheel-chair, started to eat some more, no fever and so

on...Looked like a little miracle had happened, but unluckily the

following week there was a worsening..To make it short, all I can say

is that my father is now again with fever, very bad pain from his

urinary catheter, that the stuff doesnt want to take off, because

they say they " have to check whats entering and whats coming out " , he

does not eat, drink very few, has problem to the inside of his mouth

which prevent him from chewing anything and consequently to be able

to eat properly....not to talk about his dementia, they have taken

him off the seroquel and the neuleptil, so now he is in a mess, he

sleeps and then is combative...All this cant lead but to a thing: a

decline which fast or long will bring him to certain death...I try to

be strong, to think that this agony isnt life anymore, but in my

heart i feel an unbearable sadness...That place where i visit him, i

wish I never had to take him there, and instead the destiny has took

the thing from my hands and has decided at my place. My father has

fought this terrible battle for many years, could be almost ten if i

think about that far beginning, maybe now the time has come for him

to surrender, but even surrending seems to be problematic...A hug to

all of you ...

Hello

Sorry for what you are going through...

> hospitalization, we took him to a nursing home where he should have

> had phisioterapy, phisical rehabilitation....

Unfortunately this happend to my Dad too. Only his initial hospital stay

was for pneumonia - but then off to rehab. They are NOT equipped to

handle LBD or anything else.

He went even more down hill - noo eating - UTI, bed sores that got

infected ... the list goes on and on. They are very lax about

getting/giving meds etc.

>All this cant lead but to a thing: a

> decline which fast or long will bring him to certain death...

It really took my Dad on a swift decline. He was gone in three months.

I truely hope you have a better result. GET HIM out of there ASAP _

bring him home - Hospice if you need help anything were you cankeep

better eye on what's going on.

Good Luck to you. HUGS
