These Years
Short version: my Dad is okay but if it isn’t one thing it is another. As best my sister can figure - and it makes sense - although St.Ed’s isn’t saying it is so until they talk to the Dr. - before my Dad was moved the Dr. for some reason decided to change a medication that my Dad has been on for years for pain in his jaw. This medicine was working just fine so who knows why the Dr. felt it needed to be changed. But around 5 yesterday my Dad had the aide calling several of the family (didn’t try me) because he was in hysterical tears, feeling drunk etc. St Ed’s at the time believed that my Dad was just going through a period of adjustment to a new room. Of course all the calls went to voice mail. One of my CA brothers did end up speaking with him then called my sisters pager. So she and my brother spent yesterday evening with my Dad - Kitty was trying to get all the loose ends at work and at home tied up before leaving on vacation….
A family of a patient had their lawyer subpoena her to testify on their behalf I guess in a claim against where she works…so she was also dealing with having to meet with her employers attorney I think before she left…
I am trying to come up with scenario A B and C so I’ll already have a plan in mind if anything happens while I am there - knowing full well that whatever I don’t plan for is what will happen.

so could your father be in drug withdrawal? Or have another urine infection? sounds awful poor guy Plans help but you are right you can’t plan for everything. Do your best to be loving and kind to his caretakers because if you’re a b**** they will only take it out on your dad.
