Again, you have my sympathies.Skinypupy wrote:Dad collapsed at home last night, so I've spent since 6:00 this morning in the hospital. He's weak to the point of not being able to stand, can barely talk, and is completely confused. Doesn't know where he is, what year it is, why he's at the hospital, etc. They think it's a combination of elevated calcium levels (which may or may not have to do with the cancer fucking up his internal organs), dehydration (he refuses to drink anything), and lack of nutrition (he's also refusing to eat anything).
I've watched him transform from my dad into a frail, confused old man literally over the course of 7 days. I had to help him pee into a cup at the hospital this afternoon because he's simply too weak to even stand up. It's been alternately terrifying and sad...and we're only a week in.
I'll also add, I'm an RN with Oncology experience and if you have questions, shoot me a pm.
