He sees his doctor regularly & has an appointment coming up. I might just go along for the ride to make sure he's telling the doc everything & is remembering everything the doc tells him. I like this doctor - he's the one who agreed a few years ago that husband shouldn't be taking statins.
As for carbs - he does eat oatmeal almost every day & some fruit, either fresh or canned. But he's eating less - he used to eat a whole apple, then 1/2, now he's down to 1/4 per day. Tho sometimes he'll eat another 1/4 if he's peckish in the evening. And of course some sort of veg every day.
At his age this could all be perfectly normal. But I was expecting it much later - his dad lived to 89, but then, his mother died at 80.
We've both been praying for quick deaths for some time now - we have a horror of nursing homes. I'm reading "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande - it's making my prayers much more fervent!
