Inpatient with an eating disorder

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@Bunniekins I'm ok I guess. I managed to eat a little yesterday.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@Bunniekins one thing about moving back home is my dad is disabled...he has an abi. I don't know if I'm ready to become a carer again.
I've never told the forum about my dad before....I love him so much but it was so hard growing up.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@The-red-centaur  Hey hun may I ask what a abi is? It is hard to be a carer when you need care yourself ..... I know that only to well. It is not necessarily impossible as you can draw strength from each other it just depends upon what the mi's are.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

Abi is aquired brain injury @Bunniekins he had a brain tumour.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

hey @The-red-centaur perhaps you could ask to speak to the hospital social worker about supports for your dad. they should be able to provide some information along with my aged care about getting some supports in place for him so your roles as carer will be reduced.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@outlander my dad doesn't want supports. And my dad is only 52 age care stuff is out of the question.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@The-red-centaur  Hey The-red-centaur I hear your concern re dad .... will you both be receiving help during the time that you will be staying with dad? Going alone with dad will be tough going .... sometimes nurses visit the house when you leave hospital to check on how every thing is going. That would be ideal if possible to arrange.

Re: Inpatient with an eating disorder

@Bunniekins that's a good idea.

@Bunniekins I got to rehab today. I'm scared how much they'll have me eat. I don't even need food see other thread why I now know I don't.
