For the past couple of days, my dad has been refusing to eat. It's murder trying to get him to eat. And while he complains about pain in his stomach and his hunger, he refuses to eat anything except to drink water. Won't even drink protein fortified milk or that V8 fusion which has a full servings of fruits n veggies, claiming he 'cannot swallow'.... until he decides he can drink water.
And he just asked me yesterday if I think he should retire from the postal service. My dad retired from the USPS well over 30 years ago.
WELL, I may have some good news. Last night, I had a phone call from a nursing agency that DOES deal with home care that my father needs. And today at 4pm, a Liason Nurse (contact between the nursing agency and my dad's doctor) came by and offered a lot more hope! Hell, even recommended some medication that could INCREASE HIS APPETITE SO HE'LL EAT AGAIN!!!
