My father in law falls and bruises him self. Refuses to go to the Dr. He also screams in his sleep like he's trying to escape a monster what should I do? He takes all his meds. I have set them up for him. He still works and they sent him home because he is so weak he has congestive heart failure and several others things.
Time for father-in-law's primary doctor to check over all the pills he is taking. There could be one what has side effects like nightmares. Even food after 6 or 7pm can disrupt sleep. For me, if I eat chocolate late after supper, I have crazy dreams.
The swelling legs could be related to father-in-laws heart. Are you able to go into the doctor's exam room with your father-in-law, or is that too awkward? Maybe your husband can go in with a list of questions for the doctor.
He has congestive heart failure, gout,a thyroid issue, a cholesterol issue ,his stomic busted 18 months ago.
His leg swell like tree trunks and have like black bump things on them. The scrram8ng is like the boogie man is comming to get him he puts his hand up and scream get away or just gutter fear screams every day if I wake him he doesn't remember
anything
We've begged him to quit his Dr has asked him to quit he states he will not just sit at home and die
I have a Dr apt for him in 9 days I just don't what else to do thank you for the replies they help tremendously
It would help to know a little more about your father-in-law. Where does he live? What are his ailments? Aside from CHF what has he been diagnosed with?
If he's at a point in his life where he is falling how can he still be working?
When he screams at night is it in his sleep as if he were having a nightmare or does he scream for some other reason, like pain?
I hope you can share a little more with us so you can get more detailed answers.
