Seriously.
My mom had to call the local police for assistance this morning. They came, talked to my dad for a half hour and then took him away to the local hospital for evaluation. He's gone completely looney tunes. While I was talking to my mom the police showed up at her door, I am assuming they collected her to go to the hospital to find out what next. I wait for her call. I offered to drive up but she declined my company for now.

I saw your post on FB. It sounds like it was sudden and very very scary. I hope it is treatable, whatever "it" is.
HUGS and prayers!

Wow! That could be so many things - sudden onset dementia, a reaction to meds, a need for meds . . . .
Prayers for all of you!

My dad has been taken to Centennial Centre in Ponoka. They specialize in seniors with mental issues. Apparently he hears at least 3 people in his head. They "sing" in his head. He was searching the house for intruders this morning, gun in hand. The police have seized his 2 BB guns, thank goodness. He will be in the "hospital" for at least 2 weeks. They will begin his evaluation tomorrow. He was not on any meds so this isn't caused by that.
Thanks all for the support.

Your Dad is in a safe place, and will soon have a diagnosis.
Your Mom had a good night's sleep and is getting through this. I'm glad to read everyone paid attention to HER as well.
You also need to get some rest.

Mom talked to Dad yesterday. Apparently he's not very happy with her and doesn't really care for "her" version of the truth. Claims his meds aren't helping with the voices or the lasers, but they do help him sleep. He says his latest certificate will keep him in the "hospital" until June. Mom is going to call the social worker to confirm that he's "in" for the next 6 months and to raise questions about the medication dad's getting.
It's clear to me that he is where he needs to be right now.
I'll be heading out to spend a few days with mom tomorrow morning. Taking her lots of good things for Christmas, along with me, Cali and Diego!
Thank you all for continuing to think of us.

It sounds great if they are planning on keeping him for next 6 months, less for your mom to worry about. And maybe in that time, they can adjust his medication and get him to saner thoughts. It's always tricky with mental health issues.
