@billchitwood While you have the time, write down the differences you have seen, the increased safety issues, and how it all affects both your daily life, and your husband's. I have found it so much easier to do when my mind is not grasping at things being said in a dr office! You can refer to your notes and answer questions in a semi-logical manner, then.

As @sueinmn said, the medication may be playing a big part. If he has lost weight, but still on the same dose, his dr may very well want to change that dose. That would be a typical response. I have heard of diabetic and high blood pressure patients alike, losing weight and greatly reducing their medication list. Be sure to question the dr about the safety railings, also, and how you can make your house an easier-to-navigate environment.
