i thaught i would let you all know how my dad is,i said he was
currently staying with me until we find him somewhere permanent with
help from the social services ect,My dad found out he had korsakoffs 4
weeks ago when he fell on a curb{he broke his foot in 4 places},he has
no recolection of this as he was intoxicated at the time,{whilst he
was in hospital he detoxed}the problem now is we went with dad to the
hospital today as an outpatient,only to find out dad needs another
operation on his foot,as when he is told to keep his foot up,he
forgets what they have told him and wanders all over the hospital,so
his foot needs fixing all over again,and im finding this so difficult
as i have to be with him as much as possible,as when he wakes from
theatre he dosent know where he is and tries to get out of bed,i know
its not dads fault but this is so hard and is putting an enourmous
strin on my relationship with my partner,and i havent had any time
with my kids as i have been up and down the hospital for weeks only to
be back to square one,just need someone to talk to as i feel so fed up
and feel at times i cannot cope,thanks all ........karen
