Hello,
Hello, My husband has COPD, CHF, and End Stage Renal Disease. He recently was hospitalized and had two episodes of heart failure. They had to perform CPR to bring him back and put him on a vent for over 24 hrs.
They recommended he go to a post acute facility for recovery. So, he agreed at the hospital, and we set it up and I took him there and got him settled in etc.
The next morning he was calling me every 5 minutes to come and get him. He hates this place, come and pick him up. Texting me that he would never forgive me for this betrayal, etc. He was also calling his brother and Sister and friends to come and get him. Everyone was aware of his situation and no one came to pick him up.
Then the nurse at the post acute facility called and said that they really cant hold him against his will and he is in the lobby waiting on a ride. I asked her how he got to the lobby because yesterday he couldn't walk by himself. She said he wheeled himself down in a wheel chair. So, I went and picked him up. I just don't know what is the right thing to do anymore!
I'm sorry you're both in such a bad position and pray you find relief soon.
