Losing ground

Bob has lost about ten pounds since January. He only wants to sleep.
Today they drew labs, and our primary wanted a CT of his head. The ER did one of his cervical spine in his neck.
The doctor says she wants the labs and CT back before she changes anything. She is talking about some medication issues.
His BP was really low.
So the clinic is where we have been all afternoon.
When I know more I will share more.

Thank you so much. Here it is just a few days later and he is doing much better. I was young and had a UTI with no symptoms until I was bleeding, as well as throwing up blood. I lost a lot of weight, and thought I was depressed because my husband was overseas. Remembering that makes me more hopeful for Bob, cause I remember how hard it was to recover.

@rebelann It was, because I was so medically ignorant at the time. I was also pretty tough, I guess.

He did/does have a UTI and I have just remembered how sick I was when I had one in my early 20's. It helps me put things in perspective.

Sometimes I am okay, sometimes I have panic attacks. I just now remembered how sick I was when I had my one and only that I know of UTI. I was about 22 and had no symptoms until I was actually bleeding from my kidneys. Lost about forty pounds. I got better, and that reminds me that it will take a while but Bob will get better.

@AmbiePam Just lots of prayers. Now they say nothing cultured out in the urinalysis, so there is no UTI. We have another primary care follow up in a week.

Some things are good. There is a UTI and it is being treated. No signs of a stroke, just weakness from not eating.

Now they say that there was no UTI--that means the confusion is from weakness, lack of hearing, and the bone marrow disease.

I pray that Bob will have a fast recovery and complete healing soon. God bless.
Since November last year I was been in and out of the clinic, but I am fine now, and I thank Jesus for the healing. God bless.

Aging does not really have a solution. We will treat the symptoms in the best way we can figure. His primary care is a great doctor.

@GardenGerty That's very true. I hope at least they can make the passage of time more comfortable.

I hope we do. Now they are questioning whether there was a UTI or not.

@GardenGerty It's the not knowing that really preys on your mind, don't you think?
