G isn't well

The day G was to be released from the hospital he didn't feel like eating.

I know something is wrong when he doesn't want to eat, but we were so
desperate to get him home, did not tell the Drs. for fear they would insist
on keeping him.

Long story short I took him to the VA today. So far we don't think he has
an infection, and his hemoglobin is improving, but he has fluid overload.
At least he doesn't have pneumonia.

Considering he had to drink all the Miralax, 2 nights, for the colonscopies
which never happened, no wonder he got too much fluid. That coupled
with the IV drip they had him one when he was NPO, and then the Dr.
forgot to discontinue it, so I asked the nurse, who then forgot to unhook it,
so he got 6 hours worth of fluids he didn't need.

Also, his blood pressure has been low, even after withholding all blood pressure
meds.

I will be watching him closely. He will have dialysis tomorrow where they
will take off more fluids, so perhaps that will help.

They also gave G a prescription for a diuretic, but he said that it never helped
in the past, but that eating grapefruit does, so I bought him some grapefruit.

At least he gets to sleep at home. And today he did eat a little better.
