I saw my dad

Published by

I’m just home after visiting my dad

He is still not very well. Mom helped him to hav a shower.

She said when he got undressed he looks anorexic. He’s literally only skin and bones

It’s so sad.

He keeps saying he’ll never be right again.

I am not sure if I will go visit him again.

It is so depressing in his ward

I came out of there feeling really low.

I need to mind my own mental health.

I’m glad I am staying with my mom for the week.

I am also glad that I will see dr. Barry this week as well.

Hopefully my dad will improve but I just don’t know at this point

Please continue to pray for him thanks everyone

    It’s always tough to see your loved ones go through a difficult phase like this. I’ll keep him in my prayers and I hope that he’ll make a speedy recovery.

    I was the family member who stayed beside my own father as he deteriorated into Alzheimer’s. At one point he threatened that unless I let him store his belongings in my back yard he’d turn me in to Human Services for having sheltered him until he could find a home…

    Nonetheless, I was proud of him for staying so sweet tempered that after he went into a care facility all his nurses loved him (even though they always stole the little radios I brought in set to his favorite station, to make him happy).

    I tell you this so that you know there was no lack of love in me for my father.

    It was when he couldn’t remember from one moment to the next that I had told him it was time for me to go ~ one day I stayed near and watched him look for me ~ that I couldn’t handle it any more. By then he barely recognized me when I came anyway, and I felt that not only was it ripping me up, but my physical presence was really doing him more harm than good, and it’s when I quit visiting him to save myself too.

    Just thought I’d share so you know you’re not alone.

    Stay solo and stay strong ~ your mom is going to really need you when this is over.

    Bright blessings to you 🙏✨

    I agree, hospitals are depressing. Sending supportive thoughts to you and your Mum. It’s good you’re keeping her company.

    As you know, I haven’t seen my mum for some time with her not wanting to see me.
    You have to do what is right for you.
    A difficult time for all and you will have your own ways dealing with that. X
