Subject: Re: mother's blood pressure meds
Re not using good judgment - no kidding!!! I have
talked to daddy several times, trying to get him to
drink water. Mother thinks he threw up this a.m. I
think he is getting dehydrated. He says he never was
one much for water and that is that.
I am sending mother a copy of the e-mail I sent you
regarding the wrong blood pressure meds...I am not
sending her the pages and pages and pages I am sending
you. If you will go over them with her -- I am going
to start working on her regarding showing this
information to her Dr. and asking for a change. The
book says that coming off the calcium blocker must be
monitored by a Dr...
Enjoy your trip..I will talk to you then. Love.
