dad was diagnosed with mnd late last year, Now he can barely communicate and is mostly paralised. I can only see him every couple of months as I live in a different country. He can;t stay at home because his wife is mentally unbalanced and on a lot of prescription drugs. So He is in a rest home which He hates. He's stuck in a rest home with people who belong there when he shoud be spending his last days at home.
I cannot do anything about this. i am considering quitting my life to go there and hire a nurse and bring him home but his wife isnt too keen on being a caregiver. Not in a bad way, it's jsu ttoo much for her becuase she's doped up on drugs all the time becuase doctors think this is ok somehow.... trying to communicate with him has been her hardest and most stressful job as he is constantly tryng to talk ...holding onto that last bit of normalcy, but it;s ridiculously hard to understand him
anyway.
i just wanted to talk.
it's devastatng and it's on my mind all the time.
