Well my dads appointment was a bust! We tried for an hour and a half to get him to sit up so we could get him dressed. After an hour we were able to slip his shirt on kicking and screaming. He keep telling us his body wouldn't cooperate. So we finally said ok. I went to the Dr. Appt and the receptionist wasn't going to let me in without my dad. I explained to her That the dr. saw him at the hospital last week and needed this follow up appointment but he is too weak to get out of bed. The receptionist tried to stay firm about their policy. I said we need answers. I am not taking up someone else's time. The appointment time is now. She went to get a nurse, I explained the same thing and told her, look you just need to let the dr. know who is here or he will get a call at his home tonight! She took him the note and a few minutes later they called me back and said that I would need to facetime my dad for the appt. I said Great! and of course, my dad had settled down and was the same ol jokester with the dr. At first he wanted me to follow through with the urologist. I said there is no way we can get him out of the bedroom to take him to a doctor 45 minutes away. So the dr. express the concerns and told me that the hospital should never have released him without him going to a skilled nursing facility. (I know it was my family's fault because my brother didn't want him in a facility at the time. I convinced last night that it was NECESSARY!!!!) So the dr, gave him some pills for pain and sent the referral to the rehab with ASAP on it. Hoping we can get him in soon.
Sorry for all the info. Half of my family doesn't even know yet. If I post on our family text, np one even responds . So I told my brother all the info privately and told him if he wanted to post it to the group that is fine.
We will see how many enemies I have in the family by the time we get my dad the help he needs.
If you made it to the end. Kudos! This is the last parent to take care of so I have had my share.
