Up late
April 21st, 2007 Posted in Mundane musings
Yes, I know it’s gone 2am but I can’t sleep.
I went back to Stalag Pentwyn to drop off a couple of things and to see how dad was settling.
Not good. Agitated. Lost. Bewildered. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Logically it’s definitely the best place for him to be - 100% better than Chateau Llandough - but goodness knows when (or if) he’ll see it. The staff seem great, I must say. I suppose it’s less traumatic if the patients - why can’t they say “residents” or “guests”? - aren’t their relatives.
I’m not looking forward to going back tomorrow. I mean today.
Looks like it’s going to be a long night.
Fuck.

Aww, I hope he’s better today.

Change is always difficult for someone in his circumstances, but I think you’ll find that he’ll soon settle - My FIL did the same thing, and it took him about 10 days - but after that he’d never been anywhere else……. It is always worse for those on the outside looking in, than for those on the inside looking out - really, all will be for the best.

I agree completely with ‘im oop nawth - I’m sure he’ll settle in, it’s just, it must be absolutely horrible waiting for that to happen, your poor dad … and poor you
