[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 677840, member: 1550"] I have, but I'm not sure my father will go. He is still of sound mind. That's the hardest part, I think. He knows this is happening. I am very sad and nervous tonight. I keep hearing my dad coughing, unable to stop. I am hoping my sister calls tomorrow because we need to come up with options and present them to our father. I did not like rehab. I was desperate to leave. It was a nursing home/rehab and a lot of the patients had dementia and I just wanted out. But my father is going to need a high level of care. I do not know if he will choose a good option for himself, but t he hospital will not release him to his apartment if nobody is going to be there with him. I waver and wonder if I should go, but I think I'd be such an emotional mess that it would be bad. Plus, as I said before, I'm no nurse and I'm afraid I'd do something to him that would make things even worse. I can not make plans to go anywhere until I hear from both my sister and my daughter. So I'm on pins and needles. [/QUOTE]
