Dad has been allowed to smoke 300 cigars in 3 days. I think this is
totally unacceptable they asked me to bring up another 200 until the
end of the week. They are frightened if they refuse him he will
become aggressive. They are not managing him, they are allowing him to
get cigars any time night or day.
Dads behaviour seems to go in cycles, a couple of months of being
quite settled and then periods of being up nearly 24 hours a day. He
is resting very little and the sleeping tablets are not working. Any
suggestions?
We can review his meds but surely they should not need to be adjusted
so often.
Home want another meeting, probably to chase me about finding another
home but it is not that easy as you all know.
Tania,
Think your right we do need to know more about the Countries we all
live in. Scotland is very beautiful (like New Zeland) but can be very
wet, even in the summer months. A hot summer's day in Scotland is
18 degrees.
Nice to know you have some Scottish blood in you, will need to send
you some Haggis (traditional Scottish food). Won't tell you what it
is made of. Pamela and Steve will be laughing at that!!
