I brought him home this weekend. I have to help him dress and shower. He walks pretty well, not shaky at all. He has always slept on the right side but he couldn’t get out of bed that way. So sleeping on left side and he can get up but it takes a lot of help.
I believe he has started sundowning, he is unfamiliar with the house in the evening.
Shoulder very slow healing, Still no strength, he can’t move the arm much and hoping it doesn’t freeze. It has been three and a half weeks, he is pleasant but confused.
Occupational therapist coming in morning. I know I won’t be able to leave him alone. I did get him into a research study on dementia in Florida planning to leave in three weeks and sure hope we can go
tonight is bad. I have had three hours of waiting on him. Make sure he can get up. How to turn off tv. How to turn on tv. Doesn’t like what is on tv. Turns it off. Makes me come back and turn it on. Then he can’t find the remote
My daughter made me feel like a heel for placing him in assisted living. Problem is he slept in front of tv all day and is wide awake now.
Don't let your daughter or anyone else make you feel like a heel. I agree with Pedro, ask your daughter to come over and spend a day with him while you get errands done, once someone walks in your shoes they will become silent. I'm glad your going to FL, I think it will be better to be in a warmer climate...much love
