There is something of a situation that I'm having right now. It's not me, but my dad.
My dad is retired. He's also overweight, bad back/knees, hammertoe, and fallen arches. Understandably, he also suffers from general poor mobility(can't walk/be on his feet for extended periods of time).
My dad spends his days now sitting in a chair, and either reading, watching FOX News, or talking on the phone.
He also drinks.
This afternoon, my mom needed my help. My dad was slumped on the floor in a sitting position and he was weepy drunk. He was crying, telling me he's sorry for something. After a few failed tries between my mom and I to lift him onto the bed, we managed to get him onto his side, and as I write this, he's still sleeping on the floor. Maybe when he sobers up, we can help him into bed and he can finish sleeping.
I'm all kinds of scared right now. For as long as I can remember, my dad has always been very much the 'in control' type. Seeing him like that low-grade freaks me out. I want to help him, but I really have no idea how.
UPDATE: Dad is no longer weepy drunk. He's trying to sleep it off. Mom and I tried to get him onto an air mattress, but he's still too far gone to be much help in getting himself on there, even with mom and I helping. I had the idea to deflate the air mattress and inflate it when he's on it. I also thought of actually getting on the phone for medical assistance.
