Papa elephant went to the doctor again this morning.
This must be a record for the number of times a person can see a doctor in a month stretch...and the number of different doctors seen must too be a record of some sort...Im sure.
Anyway, he went again.
He had his blood pressure checked again, which showed at 124 over 108.
This is seen as stage 2 hypertension, and is NOT good.
He also had his back checked, and with the pain he is describing, the doctor thinks that not only is his liver not working, but now his kidneys arent functioning properly either.
I did suggest that we just take him to the vet to have him put down, but Papa elephant didnt think this was funny.
So now we are looking at the possibility that he could have a heart attack...which might kill him sooner than the dementia.
It never rains but it poors....etc.
