My husband is currently stationed in Iraq and will be home a few days before thanksgiving after doing a 15 month deployment. His dad wants to come up to see him come home, he lives over 2,000 miles away and I want him to come up but Im afraid. I had my mom come visit us 2 years ago, she was 62, my son woke up in the middle of the night and found her passed away on our couch from COPD. Im so afraid that is going to happen again, my father in law is 64 he has asthma,emphysema,COPD, diabetes,is on blood thinner medicine, full oxygen,nebulizer , he has a total of 25% lung capacity and many many more meds that i cant even remember, and on top of all this he still smokes 2 packs a day. He says he wants to come up because this will be his last holidays,and he hasnt seen us in 4 years. I really want him up here but Im so afraid, will he be allowed to travel, I called amtrak and they said he can bring the oxygen, but its a 38 hour trip, airplanes wont allow him. How do I handle this??

I have had my nipple pierced for several months with no problems. It healed quickly. During the last few days, it has been very sore. I can't rotate the hoop without pain, and even slight pressure aggravates it. There is no discharge. I don't know if it is migrating out because it has only been a few days. I recently moved into a new apartment and I believe that the water quality is different, but that seems to be a random reason for this. However, the person I am living with recently had her nipple piercing reject, but hers never really healed in the first place. I have also recently been cleaning it with Summers Eve soap (haha, I know). Any thoughts?

He had to get a cather put in tuesday. The Dr. said it might have been a Kidney stone but that they dilodged a blood clot when inserting the cather. He had it Removed today at the Urologist office and now he is bleeding from the penis! He has passed some clots but has no pain unless he is passing the clots. Is this normal to have this much bleeding after the removal of a Cather??? He's 14.

I'm taking a glucosomine, chondrotin, MSM formula for arthritis and I've been told because glucosomine is an anti-inflammatory agent it can cause blood to not clot properly.

They understand she is dying, and we let them see her up until she got really weak and started mumbling to the point you can't understand her. Should I still take them to visit her? I ask them, and they always say no, but I'm wondering if I should still take them. She has a rapid spreading cancer that is attacking her system, and taking her from us very fast.
