Considering the fact that he has rectal incontinence and the diarrhea is splattered everywhere and he has to wear Depends, I would say it has gotten his attention! He is so sick that he doesn't even drink vodka .... and barely smokes. And, he doesn't eat 200-300 calories a day. He spends most of the time in bed or in the bathroom. He finally went to an urgent care center today and was re-tested for c-diff.....and they redid some blood work. No results yet....He is a retired Dr. so is very reluctant to 'seek' medical care. After all, he can treat himself!!!
