Back in the hospital

well it was a short visit home...Saturday he was released from Rehab, but we noticed some rectal bleeding that did not lessen or go away so Sunday night it was back to the hospital where they found some blood in his stool and decided to keep him overnight to monitor and for the gastro dr to exam him today.

gastro dr called my this am to say they found alot of stool in his rectum (tmi) and some blood and were prepping him today for a colonoscopy tomorrow....so we'll know more then..

I have to wonder though...is this the beginning of the end for him??? he turned 80 on March 11 and it's been all problems since--the arthritis and pinched nerve, now the rectal bleeding. My grandmother was 87 when she passed away, but the last few years of her life were really downhill with stroke after stroke and heart attacks etc. It's really sad to wonder.
