Prayers for my Dad

[2tiredmom]

ok I give up. They had my dad to the ER twice in 24 hrs. Come to find out he fell.
I am calling tomorrow to talk to the director of nursing. I wish i lived closer but i don't i am sure i will get the runaround and if i do we will make sure he gets to go somewhere else.2012 is really starting to SUCK. Sorry. there i go again.

I'm so sorry he fell. How is he? In Texas, all falls have to be reported to the family, no matter how minor. You can also sign something that says they can't take them to the hospital without your permission.

Janet, on my parents MPOA, I made the decisions unless I wasn't able to be reached, then my brother did it. We were both on the papers.

I wondered how that worked....thanks Betsi.

Linda...Mulberry is so much better than Clinton House, plus, it's closer to the Lafayette Hospitals. It's always ones personal preference, but Clinton House wasn't even on our list to choose from. I don't mean that to be rude, but it's not one of the better ones. We did have Mom in Milner's at Rossville for about a week before she was sent to the hospital and passed and I've regretted it ever since. She rec'd much better, compassionate care at Mulberry.

I hope you're able to accomplish something when you call, Linda. I would be so upset too. I think that I'd be checking into moving him.

How awful, Linda! I hope you get all this straightened out without a lot of aggravation!

If your not happy with him in there, move him ASAP. Let them know that is unacceptable.

When he fell and broke his hip he fractured his pevis.......AGAIN. no wonder why he is in so much pain. i am trying to do my best. I'm sorry to vent. my sil called the VA today to see about getting him into the Va home. She told my brother that they would not take the house if he went there. SO at work this afternoon. I went to talk to the VA Adm in our building at work. He said they would take everything in assets that he has. SO I get to STRESS more and call the VA Adm down where he lives and see if i get the same story. IF she would Just Stay out of our business. My husband does not go around nosing into their crap. Sorry. I know right now I will not sleep tonight. I will be on the phone tomorrow at WORK. MAKE ME LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUY HERE.....I have already started the MEDICAID process.
