hi, i have been here a few weeks ago , and was talking about
my husband and his cirrhosis, in the past few weeks he has at least 3 days every week that he can't get out of bed for more than 15 minutes at a time and he needs to go lay back down. he usually has a good appetite but lately he eats hlf of what he was. he has been getting a lot of these big purple spots on him and blood spots in his eyes and purple spots on his eyelids. he seems to have trouble focusing sometimes. i really am afraid to leave him alone, but i need to work at least 2 days a week. he is a deinker but i have seen a decrease in his drinking the last couple weeks. he is so sick and i am beginning to be afraid for him. his bilirubin was 8 total and this was 2 months ago. we haven't been back to his hepatologist for awhile because he isn't a candidate for transplant because of drinking and mitral regurgitation from endocarditis
so there wasn't much they could do except if he got infection. i really needed to talk today , i have been depresses and sometimes it helps. he has been pushing me away from him not wanting me to hover. and that hurts. thank you for listening. bluebird
