I am back on plan trying to give it 100% but I have a major distraction and it is really causing me problems as I have an urge to just eat when I am stressed/worried which I am at the moment.
My dad is no better infact he's getting worse and I am beginning to think he actually wants to go into hospital. He's not been taking his painkillers, even though he has now been given Morphine in liquid form, as he says eating/drinking/speaking etc sets off the pain. I am beginning to think he is anticipating the pain therefore not wanting it he avoids the tablets etc therefore he is not getting the pain relief and then needs to take more pain killers.
He was supposed to go to see his Dr this morning but when the time came for him to go he had another pain attack so a family friend rang the surgery (my mum in no condition to do so as very distressed and stressed) and the Dr is coming round to see him after he has finished his clinic.
This is all driving me crazy as they don't want us to go over as it will upset Ben too much (that much is true) but I feel that I just want to go over and tell him how selfish he is being to everyone who is trying to help him. We want him to take his tablets etc but he won't and he is so stubborn and has a very short fuse and has been know to have violent outbursts, so if I go over I am liable to be told not to come over ever again etc. which of course will mean that it will affect all of us as my mum can't drive and won't go against what he says (we have been down this route before and i ended up backing down as my mum was so upset).
Anyway I am now waiting for another update and I won't be suprised to hear that he's off to hospital, where he will be put on a drip to both feed him and provide the painkillers.
