Sure you can go ahead. Kindly ask your doctor about Tablet Dabigatran instead of the injection. It will have better compliance and will be more comfortable for your father. However it might be more expensive.
Next Steps
Kindly use a pulse oximeter to check saturation of your father every 4 hourly and visit a healthcare facility in case of any worsening of condition.

Happy recovery!!
