***I called last night, after I got home from visiting, and when I told him I was home he said “oh good. I’m working on the computer cable to see if we can get this computer up and running and I’ll be home shortly”. He’s flat on his back in a hospital bed***

Ah yes... age related issues - which accumulate. When I visited my mother in hospital after her stroke, she thought I was 'the telephone man.' I can well sympathize. I am not the same person that I was a year ago; thankfully, nothing too serious, just easily fatigued and a lot of irritating problems. sigh

Sounds like you may have to consider full time care; a nursing home? Also have the veins in his leg carefully checked, which is probably being done anyway. 😐 Blessings!

I’m back from Chattanooga. I went down early to avoid heavy traffic but it was starting to build when I came home.

He seems better this morning but the nurse said he will need a walker, at least, at home because he’s wobbly on his feet.

They will do the MRI on his heart and lungs today but he won’t come home any earlier than Monday, if then. It depends on how fast the medicine in the IV dissolves the clots. I think the nurse called it Heparin. They are still looking for the source of the clots. They say normally they start in the legs and turn into micro clots in the lungs.

I’ll know more after the MRI.
