Angel In Chains's blog: "My Dad"

Rather than retyping an new blog...I am taking a portion of a message to a friend and posting it here...It outlines how my dad is doing right now

message as follows:

dad is doing so MUCH better! still terminally ill there is no changing that...but the raving psychotic in a drug induced delerium is gone!!!
the "well-meaning and trustworthy" docs and nurses at the VA hosp were drugging him with so many medications using the excuse that he was dying and in a death delerium becuz his body was closing down!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
they were literally causing the delerium and his deterioration!
he wasn't allowed out of bed...he was kept naked and in a diaper so they wouldn't have to deal with him going to the bathroom and they were giving him three different anti anxiety meds as well as oxycodone and other pain killers...all mixing and counter acting against one another til this man was a complete loony! and that is the only way i can even describe it...

now that he's here..in 24 hrs time...he's happy smiling joking laughing..insisting on getting up walking...eating well again...he is personality wise back to his old self..the only confusion is caused when he first take his oxycodone but that's to be expected...and yes he still dying but the docs said 2-3 weeks and were just doping him to keep him imobile til he did
and he may yet only have that time...but at least he will die peacefully and happy as can be expected of course at home surrounded by family
my faith in the VA system has totally deteriorated...it's ironic that my ex was the first one to ask if they were over medicating him...and i was trusting these docs to be looking after his best interests...after all he was in palative end of life nursing care...supposedly hospice...phhhhht!
that was NOT a hospice...the private hospice nurse that came here at 11pm last nite!! (wow) said that she had spent the day at that hosp and was appalled at the treatment the VA patients in the hospice center was receiving...and my dad is considering filing a greivance about this

Thank you to everyone for all the prayers, well wishes, support, encouragement and just plain out everything!!!

I truly believe some prayers were answered!!!
