Here is an update, my dad was in a coma from december to february. He came home in march but very weak. He was discharged from hospital very unsteady on his feet. He has lost a lot of weight, pains in his leg where the veins were taken, still very unsteady on his feet, cannot get in or out the bath, got mrsa where he had a tracheostomy, got covid on the heart ward, is hardly eating, very shaky hands, chest is painful, struggling to sleep, dizzy, out of breath, vomiting quite a lot, he had water retention so walking was even worse, hardly left the house as so unstable, no help really from anyone they just say you have been through a lot but i need some help or advice on what i can do or where i can get proper and worthy help for him.
