Dad By Numbers

The irony is not lost on me... the very bladder that keeps dad running to the toilet is the very bladder that has me grounded. I'm literally all packed and have no where to go. Waiting on results from dads urology appts, follow up to that, and then a biopsy on spots in the bladder wall. Could be nodules, diverticuli or cancer. But have to wait on who knows how long of waiting to get that resolved.
Last year hernia, this year bladder.
Dad by numbers:
Hernia: 2 dr visits, 1 er visit and 3 cancellations, 2 pre op appts and 1 surgery
Bladder: 1 dr visit, 2.5 urologist visits, 1 specialist urologist visit, 2 hospital procedures - so far
6 neurologist visits - North Surrey
Approximate 6 visits to Elder Health doctor - who monitors dads memory and cognition
2 visits to physio therapist at the hospital - in which dad accused her of trying to sell him a metronome for his walking.
2 - number of times Elder Health has assessed dad at home
1 home visit for swallow assessment
