getting advice for multiple ailments
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2019 10:03 pm
My lovely very elderly husband is struggling with multiple health problems - C.O.P.D., Prostate Cancer, a ventral hernia post bowel op last October and vascular problems that means he cant walk far.
Although health care is good around us nobody seems to look at him with joined up issues, specialist for hernia says he isnt fit for an op but should have one, Latest thing is he has discharges from ears been on antibiotics etc., and referred to E.N.T. but local hospitals have no appointments and others have waiting time of at least 200 days.
Understandably he is getting very depressed and I dont know how to help him. He s 88 I am 70 so both finding it difficult to cope.
