Re: Freddy is coming home today
mom and dad have really stepped up but it's not going to be easy. I hope they can all cope.

Re: Freddy is coming home today
well, he made it home and now he's in a bad mood. I guess the reality of having to come to live with mom and dad and their antics is not what he bargained for. I told him it will ge better and I will see him on the weekend.
I'm sure that once he settles in and everyone gets used to it it will be better.

Re: Freddy is coming home today
it seems that he's not happy being home. It may the reality of it all and now he's living with his parents and he feels the tension.
Dad said he didn't think it was going to be like this at all. He's disappointed that Fred is not happy. I guess it might take a while for him to get settled.

I know it's going to be an adjustment. After all, he spent 7 months in a hospital. I'm just sorry my parents are so disappointed. They picked up their whole lives to help him and now they see him as ungrateful or apathetic.

It's definitely hard for your parents to understand where Feddy is coming from. And it's hard for Freddy to see where your parents are coming from.
Ya know? It's like your parents need to learn what Freddy's needs are now, and Freddy needs to learn or allow himself to depend on them again.
There will probably be a lot of bumping heads over the next few weeks. But I think after time, everyone will adjust and things will fall into place.
But Freddy deserves a big round of applause for making it this far and finally out of the hospital!!!

Re: Freddy is coming home today
I think we were more excited than he was. Dad has called me at least 10 times about how he doesn't want to do anything. The last call was that he tried to go to the bathroom and couldn't get in with the walker and he has to go in sideways but didn't even want to try. He just said he's going to bed and went to bed, shut the light and pulled the blanket over his head.
This is hard. My parents are up in arms about it.
I don't know what to do. I know it will take time, but I feel that I made all these arrangements to take care of him and now it's for nothing. He says he wants to go to a nursing home. Wh???
I told him that's not an option. We will go there Sunday and try to ease it for them. I'm hoping to get his kids there too. I even asked Dad if we should get the kids to stay over there Saturday night. Maybe it would make him feel better. The visiting nurse is coming tomorrow. I hope she can shed some light on this. I guess he'll figure out the bathroom part if he really has to go!

I think this is normal. he's a grown man and living with his parents again. that has to be hurting his ego, he is a man after all.
I think it will take some time, an adjustment period. but this is in NO WAY your doing or your fault!!!!!!!
I can't imagine what he must be going through from a mental perspective, not to mention the physical aspect of it.
hang in there!! it WILL get better

Re: Freddy is coming home today
I could certainly understand him not being happy, a grown man having to live with and be cared for by his parents. He's prob missing the independence he had before this all started. 
Hopefully he'll settle in soon enough and everything will get better for all involved.
