They put him on meds and his physical abilities improved greatly. He died 2 years later, but thanks to Shands physical his last 2 years were not terrible. Go to Shands or Mayo clinic, do this for yourself, especially since you live alone. Good luck to you.

I take care of my 79 year old aunt. We were running like crazy between the kidney dr, gastroenterologist, family dr and heart dr. We never seem to get anywhere doing this. But when her situation finally caused her to be admitted to the hospital, the situation was always cleared up quickly. I cant understand this. Putting these elderly people with mobility issues through all this running. It sounds like your way might be better.
