Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Thank you all for your love and hugs and responses. They finally did the colonoscopy on Warren and found nothing. The Gastrenologist said " there is no more blood, and we couldn't see where it came from. " So who knows, maybe just another trigger of this disease. I have cried, and felt relief. I do think that this episode has made a big dent in his mental as well as physical being. Warren said he thought he had gone out of his mind at times yesterday and was afraid he wouldn't be able to be with people, or know how to act with them. I tried to assure him that all that had gone on in his mind was due to 1. the loss of blood - 3 pts they replaced, 2. the anethisia they used to do the proceedures (very light accordig to Dr.) 4. being dehydrated and just feeling lousy AND that when he got all the stuff out of him he would return to his nice normal self. (I sure hope so.) But to think he realized he wasn't acting normal really touched me. When I left this evening, Dr said if all continues as it was, he could get out of the hospital. You know he's in a nursing home (really great, lots of help, yards and pretty scenery, and they like him so much they named him King at Valentines day. I go everyday for at least a couple hours to keep him company. He is so very tied to me that when I can't go, he gets very upset. At any rate he'll be closer to me and hopefully things will settle down. Sally, I can see the decline and try to be with him as much as possible. I'm still very much a caregiver tho' not with him every moment. Thanks again, S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
