[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I’d really appreciate any advice. My dad is 91 and in good health for his age (he has a history of stroke and intestinal blockages, but otherwise active and healthy). Over the past three days his appetite has declined (he’ll eat a few bites of something and he’s just not hungry anymore). We don’t believe he has a blockage or narrowing because he’s not nauseated, he’s had bowels movements, passed gas etc. He’s also exhausted. It was difficult for him to get up stairs and get in bed, difficult to get dressed, etc. His GP is on vacation this week. My mom has to work and so I’m taking the day off to go be with him. He doesn’t want to go to the doctor (he has no fever, no pain, just wants to rest and not eat). Any advice for us? Any idea what might be going on? He was hospitalized a few months ago for an infection after and endoscopy and he hated the hospital. He will definitely refuse to go, and I don’t want to call an ambulance if I can avoid it. [/quote]
