Thanks, Nero this was informative. I am going to look into Baker Act. The bank and credit is all in my name as well, he has nothing separate except 401k and I have permission already given by him to them for my involvement.
I though with all the medical being married was enough, I know that doesn't cover DNR but they could ask him to sign that if he was admitted. I pray every day now that today's the day he collapse's or is picked up and taken for evaluation. He's starting to get scary!
The dep is eating away all is muscle tone and making his body very painful. HE is in constant pain, and the mental damage is showing as well - memory loss is growing as well as confusion which is very rapid.
I actually think he's shrinking, today at the coffee pot I saw his head hang so far down I think he could touch his chin to his chest. For being 5'9 he is almost looking at me directly in the eye, I'm 5'5''. He's draggin his body through the house like a ball and chain.
Can one pray for someone to fall so far down that they finally get the medical attention they need? I don't feel guilty! I feel like it may save his life, I don't want him to be that guy my kids pass under a bridge in the city after a summer concert sleeping on a box.
Their friend was on a bus in the city and when a bumb sat next to her smelly and asking for change the only thing that was going through her head was, I hope my father ( aka bumb) doesn't recognized me.
Im going to stick with my pray for help, no matter how it comes!
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
