Gloria and Christine,

Thanks to you both so much. (I need to learn how to edit my posts to correct the spelling and make it clear).

I want to see a counselor (he has already refused...weeks ago). We will learn what the RO says tomorrow. He will agree to tests but NO WAY to dietician, counseling and he visibly tunes out most of the Doctors advice and you can see when he tunes them out.

I had to talk to his 80 year old parents when he had a 'tear' and lost over 4 cups of blood internally. There was projectile blood hurling that he had to be wiped off of one wall. That could cause death in minutes and then another problem of the pulse rate 140 ro 190 and BP dropping 30 points when he stands, That is a 2nd urgent life threatening situation in 4 days..

Yes, he whines endlessly about eating 2000 vs 2500 calories. He doesn'r want/won't drink one to two drinks of 'extra' water per day. He won't wear the thigh high stockings. EXCUSES.

I am worried about his survival. I just think he has zoned everyone out, not listening, and he is going to go it alone.

I am so sad but I can't change this. I had hoped his family and kids would but they can;t help either.

I will keep trying but I feel defealted already. He has made up his mind and he is not listening to the doctors or me. The 'blacking out feeling and light headedness."

Thanks to each of you.
