My father is basically in good health, however has had 2 major strokes and 2 TIAs. He has recovered well, with only a slight numbness on his left side as a permenant reminder. Dad has an elevated b.p., is on blood thinner for prevention of strokes, and has only 30% kidney function. He is currently receiving meds for each.
In the past month, he has experienced some discomfort when needing to urinate. He has great urgency to "go," yet only nominal amounts come out. He has lost 12 pounds in the past 5 weeks.
