My husband has 3 health problems…….can’t poop on a regular basis, pees 4 times a night and has lost 10 pounds in the last two months. Had bowel surgery to remove a polip because it was long and flat. The doctor told me they cut the bowel in half to remove it and my husband hasn’t had a normal BM since, that was in 2018. He’s 75 now, and has been peeing like 4 times a night, like every 2 hours, and now eats like a baby…….HE WEIGHS 121 pounds……..121 pounds!!!!!!!!! So the RN in the emergency unit, (we were there because my husband couldn’t expel what was in his bowel), says to me, this is bad……..his weight loss is not normal. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. Have an appointment with his PCP on Tuesday to determine what to do next…….all I do is cry.
