Hello everyone,
Dad has his second trip to the ER since this whole thing began 3 years ago. He decided to walk around the bathroom without the cane. He fell back and banged his head on the door and cut it open on the side. 10 stiches later he is now really depressed, and scared to do much of anything. I am a nervous wreck and am more worried then ever before.
Dad stayed in all day yesterday and although getting around fine again he is very very depressed. Now I am calling him every 1/2 hour and asking him how he is doing and he is so mad at me that he was almost in tears telling me I'm sorry I can't tell you that I am any better then I am.
I just don't know what to do. He is so down, I am about to scream, and he is chopping ice and walking around after 2 feet of snow has fallen...
As either a PALS or a caregiver with PALS tell me what to do please?
