He's an adult, and will have to make up his own mind to go...hope he listens to you at least this time :hugs

Hopefully :fl

While he can be cantankerous, I believe he would classify as sound of mind so there is nothing we can do to intervene I guess. If he was non compos mentis we could call in a doctor :confused:

When I was 4 weeks past due, the doc sent me in for monitoring. The nurse told me to tell her when I was having a contraction. Not knowing what a contraction felt like I never said anything. She had to tell me what was happening :lol:

At least I wasn't carrying on like the woman in the bay next to me. She was yelling, moaning, crying, the whole works. I asked my nurse if she was in labor...nope, she had just eaten a whole bunch of green bananas and was having horrible stomach pains :gig

You are another lucky lady. Why would someone want to eat green bananas?

Maybe have your husband talk to him? He might listen better with his opinion on women :/

Or trick him into going lol

Thanks KD hubby is :oops: too ;)

While FIL does need someone here with him and a hand with things, he is not going to admit that and any suggestion that that is what we are doing is not taken kindly.

Hubby is as reluctant as I am to push those buttons :(

It might open his eyes though...I doubt it--some are pretty stuck in not getting medical care

Yep, it is sad that he has lost two wives to cancer and is not very trusting of the medical profession.

Sadly, I think our only option is to hope that it does not get to this stage, but wait until he is sick enough that an ambulance can be called or he decides himself that he needs to go to the doctor.

I will keep a close eye on him and the swelling though.

Some of us are just lurking and smiling, knowing better than to interject. As our perspective is way different than yours. My first born was like a page out of the keystone cops, wasn't funny at all at the time but hilarious now... Just imagine two couples with the same names. And then think calamity of errors. Second was a breeze. Scheduled two months in advance, drank coffee with the doc before the anesthesiologist took DW away, was supposed to assist, but assisting surgeon was clinic commander and not willing to bend the rules... so I got to give her her first bath and then take her for passport photos.



Oh, I so miss lake perch. Maybe one day...

It was so good!

Perch is ok. We used to catch some while fishing for Bass. We used the liver from the perch as bait. The bass were much better tasting.

Dinner is still many hours away [it is 10:12AM]. However, it is FIL's night to 'cook' :oops: Send fish! Hey, I might even give the squirrel a try! :lau

Seriously now, I am a little worried about him :( He has had a non painful, swollen foot, ankle and lower leg for a few days now and will not go to the Doctor. I am suspicious of kidney or liver issues and concerned that he is not drinking enough water in this heat .. he has an Iced Coffee for breakfast, a beer at lunch time and starts drinking wine at around 4PM. I very rarely see him drink water.

He is very set in his ways and stubborn [which he is allowed to be at his age ;)] and even suggesting he drinks water or goes to a doctor for a blood test etc is asking for a lecture or tantrum.

I am worried but not sure there is much I can do :(

If it’s liver they usually turn yellow. One of my ladies I clean for just had a heart attack and had bad swelling in her feet and ankles(non painful)You can only do so much for him as he is an adult:hugs

Thanks DMC

Having lived in this climate for many, many years, he has an impressive sun tan so any skin colour changes are going to be hard to see. I am keeping a watch on his eye colour though as I believe they also turn yellow?

Yeah, my research indicates that it can also be a sign of heart trouble :(
