Didn't mean to cut that off and leave it vague, had to hop out of the room for them to do an X-Ray. He ran out of one of his prescriptions last week and went without for 5 days. Its a critical one that regulates pituitary gland function, something he lost after brain cancer/radiation to his head many years ago. I check in many times a day to make sure he's eating/drinking/comfortable/getting his meds, but mom puts together his pill boxes and manages refills and that sort of thing, i just check the pill box to make sure he's gotten everything in it each day. It wasn't until he was off the medicine for 4-5 days before he started acting any different, so my sister and I didn't know anything was up. Ugh
