My dad already has mild dementia from the Parkinson’s, but it got out of control the other night, he was aphasic and confused. My literally had to force home to go to the hospital, where he’s been fore more than four days. We were afraid it might be a stroke or TIA, but we do know he came up positive for Covid. Then I did, then my mother did. My dad is furious, screaming into the phone when he does talk to my no that he’ll never go to the hospital ever again no matter how sick he is.
The Covid won’t let me sleep, the drainage is bad that it literally feels like I’m drowning. I’m terrified for my dad. I took a week off work, and while the urgent care doc said she thinks I’ll recover fast, I think I’ll need more time, which will piss off management. I’m so fucked.
