My father is 73 today. He has type 2 diabetes, history of heart attack and stroke. Right side is paralyzed. He has prostate/kidney problems and lately has been getting arrhthmias. He eats, drinks and takes medication at his own discretion, meaning sometimes he's anorexic and doesn't take his meds at all and sometimes he gorges himself and takes medication at whatever dose he prefers. BUN baseline was 35. last month tested at 75. Retested after drinking water at 55. Creatinine was 1.4 His "normal" glucose before eating is 120. His "normal" bp is 150/100 but sometimes bottoms out during the arrhthmia at 80/40 with a pulse of 160. He wont tell his doctor about the arrhythmias or let my mom call 911 or go to hospital--he is afraid of being put in a home.

Any idea how much longer he has?
