My dad had to be moved to the cardiac care unit because his heart started to act up. I am just shocked that withdrawal is this bad. I feel guilty for not reading up on this more before hand. I was not prepared for this and I don’t think he was either. Honestly, if I was aware, given his age and health, I might have been against this move. He is incapacitated at the moment. He cannot really communicate, has no idea where he is and is hallucinating. Someone has to be with him at all times. This is going to be a long haul.
It is eye opening watching this. I have no idea how anyone can get off this stuff if this is what you go through first. On top of all that, I have to start caring for his stuff. It’s hard because I cannot communicate with him and he has been in this state for a week. He has a beach house that he rents and I think people are booked for there next week. No clue how I am going to figure out what to do there but I will. It is just 2.5 hrs away.
Needless to say, any concerns about me dating or not are the last thing on my mind. 😊
