Update on my grandpa
Well there is nothing the doctors are really willing to do to FIND out what is going on really. He couldn't tolerate the prep for a scope. He isn't a canidate for surgery. I am not upset at this, just wish we knew what was happening. He goes back on the 24th to get some bloodwork done to see if his hemogloben(sp?) is the same or even lowers. It lost a point in 2 weeks.
Thanks for theprayers everyone! Now I have to find something green to wear. He has already pinched me when I gave him his coffee...... |

He has been in a rather nasty mood today. Have been called a liar, stupid ass and a few other things today. Just been a rough day. He is eating more so thats a good thing. Has a killer fever sore on his lip. Going back to the doc on the 24th. More bloodwork to see whats changed with counts. |

Melody,
I'm glad you have a place to come and tell on him. My Grandpa was so cantankerous when he had his stroke and was bedfast for over nine years. He would say such hurtful things to my Grandmother too. He was always nice to me but I was just a kid when I started helping her with him. I think it was those Tennessee Ernie Ford records I bought him with my baby sitting money. One day I realized when I was about twelve years old that music seemed to calm his spirit and take him places he would never go again. Those years made me appreciate with all my heart the caregivers heart and job. To borrow a line from Kate Hepburn’s character speaking to John Wayne’s character in Rooster Cogburn. "You're a credit to your gender and I'm proud to be your friend." Arrow

Medical care should now be directed toward his comfort and well being.

Thanks again everyone. Forgot I had posted this.
He is getting to a rather mean person at times. Not unexpected. Most days it doesn't bother me. Sometimes it does. The way life goes I guess. We are not going to do anything drastic. Just make him comfy. |

Mel did you ever think your grand fathers being mean might be his way of buffering you to his going to the other side. I myself do the same thing when I'm not sure i'll make it to see the next day. that way it won't hurt my wife as much to see me go. I know thats it really dosen't work that way but thats how my warped mind works. his might too.
