Thank you for your sympathy and help, yes, you are spot on as they say, nearly all the meds she is on has a side affect of possibility of upset stomach, I'm sorry that it gave you the same reaction, last night she was feeling it in near her throat. We still don't know which one it is that makes her go to the bathroom so much at night, and she still can't apply pressure to wrist as of yet, so she can't use her walker, to steady herself, and I sleep out next to her on the love seat, (she has always slept on the sofa, since her husband passed away, we have very little space here, and her electric oxygen machine is close by), and escort her when she has to go to the bathroom.
I went with her to the new dr today, she seems very nice and my friend liked her. She even wanted to send her to the same cardiologist, that my friend had for a stress test years ago, when she had the aortic aneurysm, this was who my friend wanted to have as her main cardiologist, before the dr. recommended him. The only down side was the wait it took at the office (she had to open a new oxygen tank,they don't have too much air in them so, I have to always bring a spare for her, and well the taxi from the drs office took a ridiculously long time to get there, and he did assist her to the apartment, but its not wheelchair accessible if it were I could do it. The fair was only $5.70 so, we gave him $3.30 and he looked at us, and said $9.00? Is that all, Really? He could see we don't live in a very nice place, and he wasn't happy with what we could afford to give him. Needless to say, we tried to report his sour attitude, because my friend said he complained about the layout of the property (rocks instead of grass) and two bushes to pass by near the building he said to her you can get through this? We usually don't report anybody and usually let it slide, but he got her in the apartment and never even offered to help her out of the wheelchair like the others do, but the girl who answers the phones and dispatches, said she needed the cab number we never paid that much attention to the cab number.
Since she got rid of her car unforunate this is how she'll have to go by until she can use her wrist and take a regular cab. She really doesn't like being so dependent on things like cabs, I know that she was a very good safe driver I used to ride with her her relexes are excellent and one minor fender bender that was deemed not her fault in 30 years of driving, because when she was first married, her husband didn't drink and he taught her how to drive. He was good too when he was sober.
Thanks for your help, I'll put a little salt in her water and try talking her into something like Gatorade. Ekectrolytes was what was messed up in her husband, and had he lived he would've had COPD also.They had similar tastes and agreed far more on things, then disagreed the only thing that upset her was his need for alcohol, but his whole family on his father's side had the same type of problem, maybe not in the same way it showed up in him, but still the same problem. Will let you go for now, and let you know how the salt is working, and if I can get her to take something like Gatorade. If not the salt in the water and in her food, should hopefully help assist in the healing process, Thank you again for all of your help and advice.
