I took Papa Wednesday, April 16th, to have his blood density checked. This time it was 3.3. The accepted range is between 2 and 3. The larger the number the thinner Papa's blood. Dr. Weckman told us to just continue as we are with Papa taking 1 1/2 Warfarin each day and come back in a month.
Tuesday, April 22nd, Papa was to have had his check-up regarding his diabetes. He awoke that day with a very messed up tummy and just couldn't leave his home. He was too weak. I canceled the appointment and headed in to check on Papa. We will reschedule that appointment but have not done so yet.
Monday April 28th, Papa had an appointment with Dr. Slabaugh, Jr. He sees Papa for a growth on his prostate. That has not changed and so we will not go back for another 6 months. This time we will be able to go to Georgetown instead of Lexington. Yippee!! If the October appointment shows now change in the growth and his PSA test is the same as the past two years, we will then only have it checked each year. Yippee again!!
Papa really has done well this winter. With the warmer weather he is out walking more and is very careful to only walk away from his apartment as he can comfortably return.
His little dog Tiny is going deaf and loosing sight. We have located her leash and now Papa is walking her using a leash. They are a pair!
