As soon as I found mum's remains β
instantly, like I'm talking within a week, he was in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up.
It was like his body had just gone, all right.
Hope's gone.
That's it for me.
And then he just declined so rapidly.
With dementia, he would often put himself back to that day.
So it used to cost me $400, but he would smash windows and break out or he would sit there and watch them do the code to get out the door.
Yeah, and so he would remember the code and then just push his wheelchair and out he goes.
He ended up going 4Ks one day.
I don't know how he did it because there's roots and all in the path, but he just pulls the legs off.
and then just uses his feet like Fred Flintstone.
And, yeah, he just, he was buggered and then, yeah, he managed to get himself out of the wheelchair and just sat at this park bench and luckily a lady stopped and said, are you okay?
Are you lost or anything?
And he goes, no, I'm just waiting for my wife.
She's just gone to see her mum and then we're going out for dinner.
And he mentioned Paname and she's obviously called the police to go, hey, I think he's,
He's done himself a mischief.
But, yeah, he constantly either tried to break out to go meet mum or would try and break out to go protect my sister and her boys to make sure nothing bad happens to them.
So it was real hard to see.
