Daddy
So my Daddy is going home from the hospital today. He was in ther efor 5 days, very very close to death. We were all sure that he was going to die. After we all spent hours/days with him in the hospital he's seemingly much better, however still very weak.
They are sending him home with a catheder (sp?).
Well.. changing a catheder is better than changing a diaper. I am moving in with my parents to take care of him. IT's sad. My brother who lives there rent free spends all day playing video games and stuff can't take care of him. (refuses), and I have to move away from my husband pack up my kids and go take care of my father. My other siblings wont do it. Rene says she'll help... we'll see.
They were going to put him in a nursing home. When my aunt told him that, he cried. He said he'd rather die. I felt like I didn't have a choice. It was either take care of him myself or let him die....My aunt located a guy that takes care of elderly people, who came highly recommended, and he is working with my dad 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Unfortunately he costs 18 dollars an hour and my dad's entire pention is paying for that.
Things are going to be tough going... I hope my father improves enough to let me move back in with my husband and just visit him. Right now though, he requires 24 hour care.
