Did you mean to say 49? That's awesome. I am 57 and have been working out with weights. Even so, I don't look like that.

Your mileage may vary, of course. Thought I'd share since sounds similar.
He had an EKG and that seemed fine according to the Dr.

Thanks for all the responses. I brought them all up to his Dr. For an update, I took him to a gerontologist who couldn't find anything wrong. His opinion was that when he first got the cough and whatever else it was, it knocked him down so far it's taken this long to get better.
He is better. He's getting out a little more and doesn't sleep nearly as much. He still sleeps a lot but probably no more than what I think a 95 year old would sleep. Certainly not 18 hours a day. Now any excess sleep is due to boredom and not extreme fatigue.
I tend to think it was something like one person posted, Epstein Barr Virus or something like that. He acted and felt exactly like I did when I had mono. A month later and he's making it back to a new (little slower) normal.
Again thanks for all the replies.

He will never have a dull moment if he moves to an Assisted Living facility. The ladies will outnumber him 10 to 1 and they will keep him engaged. Of course, there are usually lots of activities but he will never want for conversation or attention.

You are a good child to follow through and make sure nothing major was wrong..it's a hard truth that the older we get the harder it is to get back to "normal" after a medical event.

Glad your DF is doing better....
