Oh my goodness! I hope he gets some help soon.

oh tamb, i'm so sorry.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Oh no! I'm sorry, Tamb. I hope she can get him to the doctor/hospital and they are able to make him more comfortable.

[bab]

You are right tamb. She just needs to call.

[iamgrace]

I'm sorry, tamb.

[orangeblossom]

Mostly, post on MMA, but yes, they do need to call an ambulance if she won't let him. He'll probably have to stay a few days and they'll pull the fluid off him. All of that extra fluid will continue to make his BP go high.

I'm sorry I hope he feels better soon.

[karmasabiotch]

I hope she calls. Can you call? I'm do sorry. You have had more than enough lately.

[flex]

What is it about men not wanting to go to the hospital even though they clearly need to? My stepdad is acting the same way with my mom, and they finally got him to the hospital.

I'm so sorry your dad is feeling so crappy.

I'm so sorry Tamb. I hope he let's your mom get him some help!

[murdock]

I hope he gets to a hospital, I'm sorry.

[papie]

OMG, how scary. I hope he gets better soon!

[scotty]

Oh, wow. I hope that he gets the care that he needs. Sorry Tamb!

[meadowlark]

I'm sorry, Tamb. That's so sad. I hope your mom will persuade him to go to the hospital. That sounds uncomfortable. T&P to you and your parents.

[Deleted]

So sorry Tamb. T&P to you and your parents.

I'm sorry to hear this, tamb. If I were you I would call the paramedics and have them sent over there. You don't want to fuck around with fluid retention.

[hubes]

Sorry Tamb! I hope he relented soon.

[sugarplum]

I'm so sorry Tamb. Lots of hugs. I hope he gets help.

I'm sorry

[eddy]

I am sorry tamb!

[mudslide]

I'm sorry, Tamb. Please keep us updated. I hope his appt goes well tomorrow.

[Marle]

Oh tamb I'm so sorry. Swollen legs can be caused by many things. If he doesn't go tomorrow before 10 you need to get more pushy.

He has kidney cancer? What were the good news?

[Cricket0619]

I'm sorry Tamb! I hope he goes to the hospital to get help.

[drrn04]

I'm sorry.

I really hope he goes tomorrow, but I'd urge him not to hesitate to go tonight if he starts feeling strange(er). Fluid retention and displacement can really throw someone for a loop. My concern would be his ability to safely get into and out of the office. If it is that severe, it might not be safe for him to be frequently changing his elevation (you know how sometimes if you stand up too fast, you get light headed? It would be like that, but way worse because of the fluid imbalance). Tell him to take it slow if he absolutely refuses to go to the ER tonight.

((((hugs)))) I really hope he's ok, and it is a relatively easy fix.

[mamasaurus]

Oh no! My thoughts are with you.

[sweetday]

Hugs Tamb.

I take pills to control my BP also. IME it brings it down slowly. I hope he feels better.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry tamb, I hope he can find some way to get comfortable tonight and his doc can see him first thing tomorrow. I'm sure you feel really helpless. Take care of yourself- you've had a rough couple of weeks *hugs*

[sonrisa]

I'm so sorry, Tamb. My dad had an issue with that, too. I hope the doctor can help.

[ralphlauren]

I am so sorry tamb. Posts like these make my heart hurt
