I'm worried; Update page 3 post 33

[Pam]

Just checking in to see how your dad is this morning.

I'm sorry your dad is going senile, I know how worrying it is for you and the family. My mom told me one time, that when she came back from her shopping, my dad was on his way down the stairs in his slippers - when she asked "where are you going" he replied "off to work". This was a few years after he stopped working. Luckily she got him back up.

Apart from the advice you have been given, I can only add this: make sure he has a pice of paper in his pockets with a tel. no and address on, in case he does wander off. Oh and keep an extra eye on him if it's cold outside!

I hope he'll be better and you don't have to worry.

Only now had time to get back on the PC.

Did not check his BP, he wouldn't let me. He was fine this AM, and he remembers it all and refuses to talk about. He went to my brother's as planned.

I did tell him last evening that it could be the signs of a stroke and maybe we should go to the ER. No, he put on his pajamas and went to bed. Stubborn! He never goes to a doctor willingly; he has had diabetes for almost 10 years now and is still in denial about that. So all this part of it is normal for him.

I've got call his doctor on my Monday morning "to do list." That will be the FIRST thing I do!

I was thinking sundowners or TIA also. Please keep us posted. I will be keeping you and your dad in my thoughts and prayers. ((hugs))

I sure hope that whatever is going on with your father isn't too serious and can be easily fixed. Too bad he's so stubborn. My dad is a bit like this too but he does go to his doctors appointments and have bloodwork taken without any problems. I'll be keeping your father in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to hear some good news from you soon. Please take care.

Sandie, it sounds like what we went through with my Grandmother. I hope your Dad is okay and has no more of those scary spells. It must have scared the bejunior out of you {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

My first thought was dementia. I think you should call your Dad's doctor on Monday. Somebody else suggested his medication and that may be the problem. I hope it's his medication, that way they can readjust it. Good luck and keep us posted.
