Tokyo house🏠➡️ family home

I am considering introducing a nursing bed for my father. My father's legs and back are weak and he can barely walk, and he can no longer lift the duvet up and down.
The doctors who make house calls, the care manager, myself and my sister all want to put a bed in.
My father himself wants a bed.

That it never comes to fruition,
Because my mother, who has dementia, stubbornly refuses to do so.

The room for the bed is the former 'guest room' on the ground floor, according to the layout of the house. The former 'guest room' has an alcove, and my father now sleeps on a futon in that room.

In the past, there were certainly some customers,
Nowadays, you're not here.
At best, they are neighbours or caregivers.
These people are invited into the living room, which is connected to the drawing room, so the drawing room is no longer used as a guest room.

For my mother, however, it is a 'guest room'.
It is not a good idea to put a care bed there!
He said that if they wanted to put a bed there, they should put it in a room upstairs,
I don't understand.

How disgraceful that the nursing bed is always visible from the living room again! The thing is,
Why I don't want to put a nursing bed for my mother.

There is another reason why my father wants to put the bed there: according to him, recently my mother (who sleeps in a room upstairs) has been getting up late at night and eating sweets and other food in the living room.

It appears to be a peripheral symptom of so-called dementia.
Some time ago, other symptoms, such as delusions, began to appear...

So they say that after they have eaten something, they fall asleep there. My father finds him when he gets up to go to the toilet and puts him down on his own bedding.
And since he can't help himself, he says he sleeps on a yoga mat.
So I thought it would be useful to have a bed because...
I'm already crying😭.

My mother wakes up in the morning and cannot recognise that she is sleeping in a different place, and of course she does not remember having eaten anything in the middle of the night.

I really don't know what to do... 😩.

Today, while fishing with delicious snacks (laughs).
I told him about the care bed and he complained about it a mountain but managed to convince me to take him up on the delicious snacks, but I don't know if he'll remember that tomorrow... 😩.

Sorry I'm mostly complaining today: 🙇‍♀️
Thank you for reading to the end.

It was a day healed by Kaze-kun.

Thank you for your hard work today.
Good night ⭐.

The photo is of today's fridge... These days, if you don't label it like this, you don't seem to know what's in the storage containers. Even if they have made lunch for the next day, they forget it's there and don't eat it... Oh dear...
