Further to dad being discharged on Sunday he has not been right since but I thought it was good for mum and dad to spend some time again in each others company so I kind off let it slide, knowing full well it would only be days before we are back to square one. The district nurse came in this morning took one look at dad and told mum to call to get the GP out, the district nurse sat with dad the whole time she was there just cuddling him, she could see the decline in him. She was also disgusted at the treatment we received over his discharge from hospital. She had read his discharge letter and was expecting someone a lot healthier than she saw today. The doctor came out and looked at dads legs told mum to up his water tablets to 2 a day instead of 1 and gave dad some temazepam. The district nurse came back in this afternoon and was not happy about what the GP gave dad. The nurses are now coming in every morning to wash dad and hopefully they can get a catheter in so they will come in at night as well. Dads actual GP who has been dealing with him the whole time is coming into see him tomorrow morning and the district nurse will be there at the same time so hopefully we can get him into or to the top of the waiting list for the hospice. Its so hard for mum to watch now he is sitting in his chair with 4 layers of clothes, 2 blankets around his shoulder, 1 blanket over his legs and a 13.5 tog duvet over him and he is still shivering. I know mum feels she is failing dad in some way but all I can d is re-assure her. It is all so hard for me to watch and think about I seem to have a constant sore head just now, I just worry for them both and want the best for them both. Really feeling low tonight think its all just getting on top of me.
