frustrating!

Ok... Dad is still in the "rehabilitation/nursing home" in Ocala... I don't hear of much progress being made!

Dad is unable to eat anything, the "New Horizon's" is pureeing his food ... due to orders from the "Munroe Regional" doctors. Dad states "food does not taste good" or.. " it hurts too much to eat anything" or.. "it's always the same thing everyday .. over and over"! Dad is losing weight FAST... my mother states his arms are just skin and bones when you touch them.

Dad is also getting "frustrated" with it all... he gets so angry and uncooperative with my mother... and the staff of "New Horizon's"! This makes it all so much harder on Mom, she states she get's really embarassed of the way he treats the staff... and then she feels so down when he gets angry with her. He wants to go home.. and that is just not possible... he still cannot use his legs... and he is weak, there is no way my mom can care for him at home... even with help from family and/or 'home health care' help!
