Since I last wrote about dad , things haven’t improved massively unfortunately he’s still in bed and not eating a great deal at all , I often wonder if I wasn’t looking after him what the hell he would do , we finally got to the bottom of his horrible urine , he had a urine infection so hes on antibiotics, and he’s actually let me put his morphine patch on which I started on Friday for him , there is one concern though so Friday he’s had a real upset stomach and I’m worried it’s the spinal cord compression causing it …when I’ve had the doctor out he said to look out of loss of bowel control and I’m just a bit worried that this could be happening, I will definitely ring the doctors tomorrow if he still has loose stools , I’m the one caring for him ( his daughter ) and it’s so difficult feel like I’ve seen things I shouldn’t of had to but he’s my dad and I love him so much, I’m wondering if he has the runs due to being on antibiotics and not eating , today he did manage a slice of toast and a cracker and luckily he is pushing fluids plenty of
since he missed his mri through no fault of his own last week , he now has another one booked in for 27th of December and from there we should start to get answers
they are ringing him on Wednesday with his ct results as he is house bound at the moment so I’m hoping they can do it over the phone under special circumstances..
I do have a question if anyone is able to answer , as my dad has missed a few important appointments now at the hospital to either being unwell or house bound or bed bound wouldn’t you think they would just admit him to hospital so they can do all the tests instead of things getting worse and worse at home and me having to suffer looking after him , he’s on no cancer treatment what so ever and im worrying like mad thinking oh no what if he misses this next mri due to being so I’ll what am I actually going to do next !!!!

nice replies only please I’m really feeling it today I’ve had a hard day with him and cleaned him up twice and fresh bedding etc
