Cinders and Smoke, maybe Dad should see if he can find a nice message board (like this one) for folks who have been through a similar type of experience to what he had, as it doesn't appear that the doc is going to be a whole lot of help. grrrr :mad: That just ain't right! Now that he's got pills to take, might want to do a bit of research on them too. Then there's got to be a real plan on how to eat right. Lots of stuff to think about right when you don't feel like doing much of anything. Take it slow, take it easy, bit by bit you will get through these days, and maybe be able to find a doc who can give a little care to a patient.
