So sorry 4 dat, my dad own was 4 good 8 years, b4 he died 2 years ago.. I know how it is moving him from one place to another, although my dad do sit up and eat, but he cannot move around, he poo, urinate on the same spot.. we do bring doctors to the house to check on him, he was fat, so carrying him na big work.. when it wod have cost moving him from home to hospital he gave up... May be he doesn't want us to pass Tru such stress... Never think of killing him cos it will hurt you for the rest of life.. When my dad died I blame myself that I didn't do enough to keep him alive . Allow the right to come for him to rest..No try am it will affect you psychologically...his taught will keep troubling you...I know wat am saying... |

A lot of questions here, perhaps you should attempt an introspection. Why your dad? Why is your mum the partner in this case? And why you as the first son in the matter? And of course together with your travails at UNiBEN? Everything will be much clearer if you are objectively guided to the justifications of this circumstance. This clarity will bear the truth which will in turn unburden you in totality. Finally, it may appear really bad but trust me there are worse scenarios. These are just my thoughts drawn f on personal experience. |

Drop all emotional sentiments here, think logically. Imagine the peace of mind he and the mom would have, coupled with the amount they'll save not going back and forth to the hospital.

As advanced as humans are we still have a long way to go. Stroke and cancer need cures. I wish I had the means to fund research in those areas. Humans should die of old age not disease.
This breaks my heart.
Omorotionmwann, I have a friend whose dad has been managing stroke for about 12 years too. It’s not as serious as this though. My friend has spent mad money on his dad. It has been so tough, but tries to remain positive. He also goes for personal check up and lives healthy.
As you manage your dad’s condition, also watch your own health too. Even though it may be hereditary, you can escape it.
Euthanasia is FINAL. Once you do it you can’t reverse it. His condition is not final. Where there is life, there is hope. 1 Like 1 Share |
