Dad unfortunately has resumed his constant burping, to the point where I'm not sure he's eating. This started some time before Thursday morning and continued through Saturday afternoon. At that time, I told him he needed to talk to a doctor or nurse and that he needed to consider returning to the nursing home or declare himself homebound and get in-home health care. Because of his severe hearing problems, I expect that he missed the first part (the important part) and got the second/third (less important) parts. All of which is extremely depressing. Long time followers of his adventures know that the last time he couldn't stop burping it led to endless hiccuping to the point that he couldn't breathe. There has to be a way to avoid all this misery.
I'm taking him to a dermatolgist appointment this afternoon. Hopefully the problem has resolved itself. Hopefully.
