Heartbreaking

I'm visiting my dad and he hasn't had any food or drink all day. I tried to give water , he took two sips and yelled I want to rest! He's in hospice with aggressive Lymphoma cancer. This is awful. He looked at me for ten seconds and said oh it's cold out? And fell right to sleep. He has never slept this much, even at the hospital. The cancer is making him so fatigued.

I know in another few days he probably won't reply at all. I'm mad and sad. I'm scared. He's only 72 it's not fair. I wish we could watch the movie I brought like we used to..but I have a feeling he'll be sleeping my whole visit. It really is the small thing like a movie and just talking to someone we take for granted. I would give anything to have him be awake again, watching tv with me. 😞

The staff aren't doing their job it seems, I would wish there's somebody who should know about that that could improve the situation :( Hang in there my friend. 🫂

@FrugalNoodle It sucks that hospice really doesn't come much I think on weekends. But shouldn't main staff at the home be monitoring it? When I called 911 for him a month ago they were saying he was just tired. He had actual pneumonia 🙁

@Coralmist I'm just grasping at straws here, but i'm thinking there's such poor service is because of cutbacks on certain funding that used to be, but no longer is so that an immune and untrained group can go to states that voted blue. 😔
