Again thanking all of you for your kind words and support.
JoAnn my Dad had open heart surgery app. 6 years ago and that is when we first noticed he was different. Not the easy going guy he once was.
Went with him to the Ear doctor today and she showed me the damage done at his GPs office in his ear, where he had surgery years ago in his ear the GPs office had some lady lavage not only his "good" ear but his bad one which is never to be touched only by a specialist. So his ear is hemoragging sp? and they have him drive miles to St. Clares (Ellis) all alone knowing about his recent Alz dxes, and he ends up wandering for over an hour in the parking lot and then ends up in the ER with a blood pressure of 220/140. They did MRI and Cat Scan to rule out stroke. Because his BP was so high they said his brain started to swell.
So the ear doctor shows me how the damage is healing and I look in the scope and gasp, I can't imagine how it looked weeks ago when this happened.
They had blown open were there was scar tissue from surgery over 55 years ago and left a deep laceration, that's why his ear had uncontrolled bleeding.
