He finally conceded and daughter and I hauled him off to the doctor this morning. The ran all sorts of blood tests and Dr is going to recommend he be evaluated for Medicare home health or palliative care/hospice. We are dwelling on the home health angle as he is comfortable with that. Dr N also have him some samples of Creon for his chronic diarrhea (he was glad I had kept records of what was happening). I'm guessing the agency won't call until they get the blood test results back.

Dr N also said to let him eat whatever he wants and how little or much. So Robin bought him a large ice cream cone on the way home. Lunch!

Thank you for all of the suggestions. Oh, Dr N said he can not take any of the otc and/or TV/Internet ads without checking with him first! Since Bill really respects Dr N (sort of the old family doctor we grew up with that knew you well and was always there) he promised to follow his instructions.
