My 101 year old father having his breakfast after his normal stressful and restless night. A record of his last 2 nights went as follows:
13 August: Woke up (to ease himself) at 9.30pm, 10.30pm, 12.00am, 1.30am, 2.30am, 4.15am, 4.50am, 5.25am, 6.00am
14 August: Woke up at (to ease himself) at 10.05pm, 10.30pm, 12.00am, 1am, 1.55am, 2.10am, 4.10am, 5.15am, 6.00am
Even though I was in attendance he almost fell down several times. It is so sad to see him taking like ages to get from point A to point B within the same room, most of the time stubbornly refusing to be supported. As it gets harder and harder for him everyday we feel more and more helpless and distressed.
what about persuading uncle to use portable urinal? or wearing pampers?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern Saw. Being a proud man he has refused the pampers,believing he can still do it on his own.
