Slide - I meant to ask you how your husband is doing of late. Hopefully, pretty well.
He’s doing better but we are coming to a cross in the road, I’m afraid.
The hematologist wants him to have a colonoscopy because his red blood count dropped some since being on the Eliquis. They want to make sure it’s not causing bleeding in his intestines.
He refused so we came home with a home test kit, that we did and mailed back yesterday. He said that if it shows any blood and they try to force him to have the colonoscopy, that he will refuse again and take the chance of them taking him off the blood thinner. He said he would rather die at home from clots than have a colonoscopy.
I told him that at 84 I figure he’s old enough to make that decision and I won’t try to force him. That’s not how I roll. I told my kids how I felt about the covid vax and when they decided to take them anyway, I didn’t say anymore. They are old enough to make their own medical decisions. I’m not going to cause a major family feud over their medical decisions, and I won’t over his either. My husband had me sign him up for the vax when they first came out even though he knew I didn’t like them and why. They called to make his appointment and he said to tell them he changed his mind and didn’t want the vax, so I told them. His body, his choice.
