Update on Dad

Dad has high blood pressure, so they put him on medicine for that.
The infection in his foot is bone deep, and they are going to have to amputate part of his foot.
He doesn't know when he is having that particular surgery, just that it is going to happen.
He has type 2 diabetes, and they think he has had that for 5 years at least.
So they are giving him the pill and two insulin shots to his arms.
His shoulders are deteriorating, and he is in a lot of pain, so they have him on mitogen for pain.
He may have had a minor heart attack this morning.
They have him on oxygen.
He might also have a blood clot near his lungs, and he is on blood thinners.
I am getting updates regularly from him, so I will continue to update as I hear more.

FIN.
