I do not think he is in hospitilization shape. He gets up at 5:30 a.m. for work and gets home around 5. That is when his energy level is zapped. He has a healthy appitite and he eats a ton when he eats. It is just harder for him to eat. No breads, but pasta, rice and anything else is still ok. I think a lot has to do more with the ulcer bleeding and sore. He talks all day, so it is pretty sore by the night. He is naturally skinny as it is, so any weight loss is noticable. He is really good about not talking too much pain meds during the day, but at night he takes the "normal" dose and it knocks him out.

He said it is a dull constant pain, but after eating and irritated and talking all day it goes way up.

I am going to call the doctors office tomorrow and ask to speak to his nurse that is assigned to him. I will tell him his overall health and concerns and see what they say. The Dr did warn us this would happen and she fully expected it. Not that is really reasuring, but I have to at leased let her know a update on him.
