ok so doctors and offices are potentially overkill on a lot of things. Dad falls and everyone is like take him to the er~ummmm no maybe order xrays and send him to do that? Why cause him stress and upset, his life has plenty of that. Ridiculous I say, you take him to the er it's very scary for someone with dementia. If you don't, "oh you should...." they say~ whatever. Use your brain whenever possible, there are sometimes alternate routes that can be taken. If he was bleeding that would be another thing, bones sticking out, fever, lots of weakness~
I hate this fucking disease, it kills a lot more than just the person with it.
Ok so Tuesday, 5 days ago we got referrels for xrays and Friday we finally hear back from the doctors office. 4 days later~ hmmmm.........calling the ortho doctor on Monday
