Im trying my best to help my dad after having major surgery myself.
I do washing, clean do him meals, get him a paper everyday, sort his tablets out and put them in a box for days of the week.
Hes got no energy but still gets in the shower which hes slipped and banged his head.
Ive gone to him in the morning and found a tablet on the floor which hes dropped, so I dont know if its the night before or the morning 1.
He gets out of breath just going to the toilet which is a short distance .
Ive been onto his gp and palliative care to get help, which hes been put on a waiting list.
My dad heard me on the phone to the gp, when I finished he said, I don’t need them im fine, I can do things myself, I just need to be checked on everyday, I said well im trying to recover i can’t keep doing it.
He says dont keep telling the doctor when I have a fall or miss a tablet im fine.
Ive cried where im so frustrated and haven’t been to see him for 2 days, I feel better for resting but guilty i haven’t been to him.
