My dad is doing ok. No change. He's still in a wheelchair. Not getting better but not getting any worse. *le sigh*

At least not worse...

Hiya Honey.

Yeah, it still sucks, though.

My dad is doing just fine. He still wishes he could do all the things he used to do, like driving. Can't say I blame him. It sucks to loose so much of your independence.

Thanks Noor. It's heartbreaking to watch. It's not easy.

Twinklestars, the cats left their den today and joined the rest of us in the garden....first they sat in the olive tree, then prowled in the undergrowth then lay on stones in the not that warm sun. .

*squeals* So cutes!

HONK HONK!
In southern Illinois usually in spring near the Mississippi river people have to deal with turtles and snakes in the road.

Around here it's drunks and losers.

I saw my dad today and he's doing alright. Brought things that he wanted and gave him a hug.

A bitch nurse complained to me about how he's 'acting out'. I call her a bitch because she always has a lousy attitude. Everyone else that works there and takes care of my dad don't have any problems with him but her. To her it's just a paycheck. To me, he's my dad. Damn bitch.

My dad wasn't doing anything other than what he normally does. Trying to do stuff that he shouldn't (going to the bathroom, trying to get up and walk, etc.). He knows to call for help if he needs or wants something. He's still bound and determined to do it himself. They know this and yet she asked me if I could talk to him about his behavior.

I should have told him to 'accidently' run in to her with his wheelchair. Instead, I asked him to calm down and 'behave'. He said, "Ok."

God this is like flashbacks for me. We were lucky though, my Dad was in a great nursing home that specialised in dementia. He was a challenge but a favourite amongst them. When he first went into a respite home they were utter cunts and had no understanding of the condition. They kept getting me and my mum on the mat about him swearing. We were like...yeah blah blah...dementia alters your personality and you don't realise what you're saying. When I fact, I think he just had the measure of 'em!

I had to make sure I never posted before, but my answer is still the same.

Not enough

Yep. Some of these people lose their compassion. I'm just glad that all the rest treat him well. One nurse named Sheila (sp?) said she worries about him. That made me feel better knowing she cares.

My visit with dad was nice today and he was glad to see me. This was a really good visit.

I'm just troubled that I had to report a staff member on her attitude. I don't like being a tattletale but, it's my responsibility to make sure they are able to care for my dad as best as they can. I hate this. I feel like a rat.

I just don't want to cause unnecessary problems. I just want them to remember that he can't help the way he acts. He has dementia! He's going to be difficult and more so as time goes by.

I still feel like a rat.
