I'm overwhelmed with responses to help, visits from hospice and the legal things to update and expenses. Love the help but coordinating takes more energy than I have. (It will come together somehow.)
Doesn't help that I'm tired and my brain just wants to shut down right now. Was hoping for a good nights sleep. Prayed for Dad but guess we forgot to pray for me. Although he's been awake every hour or two he goes right back to sleep. I can't say that for myself. I've been awake since 1:30 am. Oh that our sleep would coincide.
Dad well...
He is fixated on his feet - convinced something is not right. I think he's feeling the air mattress under him. Also fixated on the couch and something he perceives as different. Have no clue but that we moved out some furniture to put in the bed.
Yesterday he hasn't been finishing his sentences. He is determined that he has to do something but doesn't know what. That's kind of scary for me.
When he left the hospital the doctor said his shingles were not contagious because they were scabbed over. Now the ones on his back are wet again. Wonder if he's contagious again or just not healing because he's on his back continuously and sweating from the air mattress??? Been putting Aloe Vera plant on them.
So I need sleep desperately. I don't want to deal with any of this at the moment but my brain won't shut off...until he gets ready to wake up. Then I'll be ready to sleep. Maybe I can catch a nap after his haircut and visit with the social worker. Although I haven't been good at nap taking lately either.
Not a happy camper. So very frustrated and overwhelmed right now. Reminder to me....One thing at a time.
