I was along visiting Dad today and I went and spoke to the nurse, she said that because dad was managing to receive his medication orally he could do this at home, they know he wants to get home and they say they are doing the same things that could be done at home and he would be comfier. I agree with all that and can see it now I have calmed a little. What gets me is that since they took him off his IV fluids at the start of the week he has steadily went downhill again, he is sleeping all the time his appetite is non existant and he is barely drinking again, I know he will be back again within the next week fortnight due to severe dehydration again thats what bugs me, if we can see the change in him this week surely they can. So he is being discharged tomorrow afternoon, I have no idea how he is going to get up the stairs to mum and dads flat as his legs are so swollen, I asked them if they realised that they live in a 2nd storey flat and they said he would be fine, he can hardly get about the ward. We have to call the GP surgery on Monday to arrange a care manager.
