Red, Im okay...my friend had her second surgery on his hip, was successful but she is lax doing her exercises so she is not doing as well as the surgeon says she should. She can walk about 3 streets but then her leg get wobbly.
7:57 am
redturtlehead

Oooh Is she able to be back at home?
7:57 am
Angelsong

morning, all. I have a favor to ask. If you believe in the power of prayer, please pray for my father. My mom called me yesterday and said he is not doing well. He is 78 years old, and he has quite a number of health problems. We think he may be over-medicated; he is disoriented and is falling often; he has a uti, and has to have a catheter for ten days; he cannot dress himself without assistane, he is using a walker, and he will barely eat. She is going o take him to the ER this morning to see if he can be admitted to the hospital for a few days.
7:57 am
redturtlehead

I am finding even a year out if I do not keep up well with the exercise I do poorly.
7:58 am
Anniebrook

Yes, she is at home for a while...walks with a cane.
7:58 am

Prayers out for your Dad, Angel.
7:58 am

Oh Angel this is bad news, but if the UTI clears up, maybe alot of the other issues will too. Will pray and think of you all.
7:58 am
Anniebrook

red, you are so much younger than her and I will tell her what you just "said"
7:58 am

Angelsong: yes of course, and I fully believe in that power. Will pray for your father and your family.

ty, ty, ty, *blushing, certainly no greatness he4. just perseverance or OCD!"
8:03 am
Angelsong

yes, of course, Red. I just hope they will admit him
8:03 am
sprite

yes that would be a reassurance, I think, Angel. My hopes go with yours.
8:04 am
Anniebrook

angel, have them look into his meds. In Nov. I almost died because I was ove medicated with diuretics and my sodium level fell to 113.
8:04 am
redturtlehead

sounds like they will...based on my limited knowledge, plus its summer and the hospitals are supposedly less full.
8:04 am
sprite

lol OCD for sure, dawg... but you are great too :)
8:04 am
lbdawger

i would think his age and the fact that he's not eating would prompt at least an overnight observation.
8:04 am
kje

if he gets admitted, ask for a geriatrician to see him (geri consult) they can help you with the delirium, medications, better help at home, etc
8:04 am
redturtlehead

I could have used you the other day kje...
8:05 am
Angelsong

yes, his sodium has been low as well. I think there are just too many meds, and doctors who are not paying attention.
8:05 am
kje

you re most likely correct, angel - the geri docs will help clean that up
8:06 am
Anniebrook

A normal sodium level is very important. Mention that is sodium level is low.
8:06 am
redturtlehead

If it is a local hospital with a geri doc...just be sure they look at the meds and do not put all the delerium and such on to the UTI...which is what may happen.
8:08 am
kje

yes, geriatricians are in short supply, so may not have any there, but ask anyway, they will recognize this as multifactorial and go after correcting all factors

Even though the U.S. is Canada's best friend, I don't think it works the other way around. Remember when Bush was thanking all the countries of the world for helping after 9/11, he "forgot" to mention Canada.

Every week, car! :-) No, the talk is being given by a lay member (which is fine, we are partially lay-led anyway) but her title is Making Good Medicine: Old Wisdom for New Times and I am afraid it is all going to be about how wonderful herbs are and how bad modern medicine is (I know this lady) and I am going to spend the whole time biting my tongue
9:43 am

That's too bad. Alternative medicine definitely has it's place in healing.

I sell a line of plastics
And I travel on the road
And I have a case of samples
Which believe me is a load

Every night a strange cafe
A strange hotel and then
Early in the morning
I am on the road again

When the season's over
And my lonesome journey ends
That's the only time I see
My family and my friends

I drive up Ocean Parkway
And before I stop the car
My ma leans out the window
And she hollers, "Here we are!"

Shake hands with your Uncle Max, my boy
And here is your sister Shirl
And here is your cousin Isabel
That's Irving's oldest girl
And you remember the Tishman twins
Gerald and Jerome
We all came out to greet you
And to wish you welcome home

Meet...
Merowitz, Berowitz, Handelman, Schandelman
Sperber and Gerber and Steiner and Stone
Boskowitz, Lubowitz, Aaronson, Baronson,
Kleinman and Feinman and Freidman and Cohen

Smallowitz, Wallowitz, Tidelbaum, Mandelbaum
Levin, Levinsky, Levine and Levi
Brumburger, Schlumburger, Minkus and Pinkus
And Stein with an "e-I" and Styne with a "why"

Shake hands with your Uncle Sol mein boy
And here is your brother Sid
And here is your cousin Yetta
Who expects another kid

Whenever you're on the road my boy
Wherever you may roam
We'll all be here when you come back
To wish you welcome home
