Dad had a full day of doctors today and as you can imagine he
was a little down about it. Dr. Rose had him see Dr. Nichols for a pre-op
exam and then he was off to Kern Rad for a chest x-ray. After that it was
over to Memorial Hosp for and ekg and blood work. Tom reported he was
spent and hungry but after he got some food in him he perked up. They
wanted him to be checked for something called CDEF, a bacterium that can
proliferate when someone, particularly the elderly, is on antibiotics for long
periods. CDEF can cause loose bowels and other intestinal problems.
We think they do this through a stool sample, but Tom says no one ever asked
for one. There is a blood test, so maybe they did that. We will
follow-up on Monday. Dad is home resting now. I’ll go over tomorrow
and visit with him a bit. He seems to like the Fresh & Easy meals Tom
brought by as well as the Insure. It’s going to be uber-hot here this
weekend.
