My father had gall bladder surgery over 3 months ago, and his health has declined ever since, due to the fact his legs are swollen and will not return to normal. He had a doplar to rule out DVT's, and has been on a diarhetic (sp?) thatdoes not seem to be helping. A side effect from this medication is body itching. We are very frustrated working with his cardiologist, as he sees no sense of urgency with Dad's situation. He is 83 years old and was doing fine, until this event. Any suggestions on what direction we should take next? Dad is beginning to get depressed, and that worries all of us. He had a very successful career, and his mind is still working to capacity. Thank you!
