Well, we have an update. Alan just phoned me. He was seen by the urologist. The urologist said "you need to be on FLOMAX", they are starting him on one pill (whatever that means).

I asked Alan "Didn't you suggest that you might not have to take the other blood pressure meds because this one lowered your blood pressure?" Alan's response "I don't know anything, I wish you were here".

What the hell is wrong with him? He didn't thing to ask this urologist (who we have been waiting to make an appearance and he has him right in front of him and HE DOESN'T ASK THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION???

Of course when he does P/T tomorrow, they will be behind him taking his blood pressure, etc.etc. They are taking the foley out next week. I gather they have to give the Flomax a chance to work.

My husband NEVER had a blood pressure problem. He was put on metoprolol because he has a stent since 2007 or so. His blood pressure is always perfect.

Is there a possibility that he can be taken off metoprolol if he is on Flomax?

I know nothing about these things so that's why I'm asking.

I asked Alan if the doctor thought he might have a neurogenic bladder and Alan said "No, I don't have that".

Well at least we know that!!!

Any comments are welcome, believe me.
