But we may be out this for now. They put him on new depression medication, and it seems to be working.
That's great news!

It is, but it would be a lot better if he hadn't thrown thousands away on the male-enhancement nonsense.

He got lost driving today...looking for the dental clinic. Had to call mom to find out how to get home. Yeesh.

Again - the doctors take care of this. Pretty sure I stated that earlier in the thread. No one gets left to die alone, at home. They simply don't do that...at least not anyone under a doctor's care.

Does your dad carry a cell phone? I put a tracker app on my dads phone so I would know where he is if he got lost. It also might help you keep him away from nafarious clinics. I think there are trackers you can secretly attach to cars too

He has a flip phone...not a smart phone. But I could not keep him away from anything he wanted. He goes where he wants. I have zero control over his actions. However, He knows his wife’s phone number...and obviously he knows to call her. He just will have to stay close to home. Hopefully he realizes that now.

You didn’t upset me at all. Was just clarifying, as apparently that information was missed by others as well.
