Long night and I don’t feel good
March 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am (family)
Last night was a very long night, dad had me up half the night. Then when I was asleep I was waking my self of with bad breathing. Dad was up half the night talking to his wife who passed away a year ago in August. We have to figure out our budgeting advice because of him being with us and me cutting back my hours at work to take care of dad.
Well last night he got up at 445 am telling me he had to go to work, and needed to find his work clothes. He wanted his car keys and wanted to know where we’d put them. Well dad don’t drive and he been retired for at least 20 years if not longer. I lost my voice so i can’t talk loud enough to communicate with him clearly.
I had to wake my husband because I was worried he leave the house and there would be little I could do to help him understand he retired and doesn’t work and was safely at home. I tried telling him go back to bed.
Hubby came out and ask him what was going on. So dad repeated everything to hubby. Hubby told him he been retired for a long time and he didn’t have to go to work. So dad told him fine I tell them to call you when they call me.
It very hard to see dad like this. Well I never really fall back to sleep and when I finally did dad came back out looking to see if I was a sleep, well I wake up very quickly. I am a light sleeper so normally if everything off in the living room or hallway best to let me sleep. I am hoping I can get a nap today. I ended up calling in sick again because I can barely talk and not feeling good at all.
