My Father has been sent home in disgrace.
For the first time we put him into a home, just for a week, to give Mum a break.
Unfortunately after just 3 days he is back with us, having assaulted 2 carers and an old lady resident. He is a collector, and apparently took offence when they tried to retrieve the possessions he had been squirreling away. It didn’t help that he happened to be in the old lady’s room at the time. He has come home minus an alarm clock, a new shirt and his glasses (he is, it appears, currently wearing the spectacles belonging to aforesaid old lady).
Where DO we go from here?
My intention was to be with them the weekend past, but my teeth have had other ideas. Currently in the middle of root canal work, my tooth has become infected, as have my sinuses. Consequently, although I now have minor pain in my mouth I do appear to have a herd of diarrheritic wildebeest ruminating in my left nostril, which no amount of toothpaste, pills, Retardex, Neil’s Yard Lavender & Myrrh Mouthwash or Salt & Tea Tree has managed to abate.
It’s got so bad that I swear people are giving me room on the tube. I guess that I should see this as a blessing but frankly I am embarrassed and not a little depressed by it all.
Am hoping that it may be in remission come Saturday, especially now that I have added antibiotics and copious amounts of red wine to the equation.
Can we kick 2007 in to touch and start again?
I’m not particularly fond of this version.
Hoping that yours is better.
Idiot
