[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1881594, member: 245335"] Thank you for your reply and the link. My father is well supported by family who do everything to help him maintain his independence. He is also getting support in the form of 4 nurses who call to give him his injections and carers who help as well. He complains that the first nurse of the day is calling too early at 08:00. He had always refused to have 4 injections a day and never got up before 10:30. Relying on others means he has to work to their rules. As well as nurses and carers he has had a cleaner for years. We have now discovered that she is buying him bars of fruit and nut, my brother found his stash in the fridge. There is an old chines proverb that comes to mind [SIZE=4][B][B]“He that takes medicine and neglects diet wastes the skills of the physician.”[/B][/B] [B][B][/B][/B] My father hasn't been tested for dementia, my mother had Vascular Dementia for the last 7 years of her life, the last 3 being in a care home. Doesn't make me an expert, but my dad is pretty much on the ball, crafty old ******. LOL As for his GP, my father hasn't been the best at seeing his GP when he's been ill, so I shouldn't blame his GP for being useless, although my mother's high blood pressure which led to her first stroke was untreated for years.
