where can my dad get mental care and be safe?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2567 of 2597 |
another miserable long day!!!started at 10 looking for dad he walked off
again...a neighbor boy said he saw him walking in his rebel hat with no shirt
headed in the woods..I drove all over called Camal county sheriff..to be aware
finally drove up on him saw a police car with lights near bridge. dad got in my
car I took him to Methodist ER..I asked them to get ammonia level and explained,
no UTI..he was free and clear only had a high blood alcohol.. his mental state
of mind..they ran needed tests and he was fine..all levels of blood were on the
correct ranges. they gave him 2 ativans and he passed out for several hours...he
woke up said he was ready to go to the beach, and get his new cars., etc..still
makes no sense I explained he has no money he has debts and he cant buy 3
cars..and tried explaining he is out of his mind,.,and if he continues to walk
the streets he Will be in danger of getting hit by a car , or picked up by
police and jail time..etc..he flat doesn't get it..so i took him home,,.its
only a matter of time before he wanders again..I plan to take him to the
neurologist Dr Gadza who is also a psychiatrist who can evaluate him and see
where he is mentally and let us know..that is my plan for now..if he hasn't
hitch hiked off to the beach...and gone by then..he is out of control and we are
powerless over him,...even when my mom stayed and tried to prevent him from
going off...she couldn't he gets violent..this has been an exhausting
mess...talk soon
