Update. Dad received fluid today. His appointment on Monday was 8:15. I asked if it could be moved to at least nine. The only way they would is if he had his lab work done today which he had done. Lab work was a little better the the 29th draw. So they moved his chemo time till 9:30. Dad did real well getting ready this am. Not nearly as weak. Took both blood pressure meds with us. Told nurse about this being a diuretic. She said definitely not to take it. Told him to monitor his pressure daily and if it does go up a lot higher take the med he previously was on. But throw the other away. Wish I had looked up this drug s month ago. Then I would have known. He just had visitors and is now lying down with some pain and tired. Hopefully tomorrow he will feel even less weak.
