i've been busy.
dad had breathing problems, had to go into hospital for a couple of days. thought a blood clot had happened in his lung again but it turned out to be a much less harmful chest cold. this is very good news.
so today i spent 6 hrs or so trying to get him out of the hospital and into the nursing home/hostel thingy. the last time i saw dad he had sat down for dinner, some little old lady sat infront of him. he asked how she was today, she went off on some demented ramble, dad was looking at her as if to say "what... the ****.."
if all goes well he'll be in this place for a bit under 2 weeks so i can have a break. unfortunately my guess is that he's actually getting more confused and will be in hospital with an episode within the week, which will involve me having to make more hospital visits to sort the **** out.
also, no doubt he'll be ringing me at some early AM tomorrow asking if i can come see him or take him out of this place. if he doesn't let me sleep in (for the first time since october) i'm going to chew him out.
