Thank you. pink grandma! I never thought of calling his dr. to have his license revoked; I just assumed I'd have to call the police and have them arrest him again for drunk driving. A drs. note is...
If you read my prior posts, you'll know that my hubby and I are losing his battle against alcoholism. He doesn't want to try to sober up; if he doesn't have the desire or the will then I certainly...
Shelly, thank you for your understanding and compassion. And, Dan, I too have witnessed my husband turn from a 50 year old man into an 80 year old man. The man I married used to go to ball games with...
I have a feeling he's going to end up like Dan's brother. He has been in detox twice in the last 3 years, an alcoholic ever since I met him in '84 ( I'm sure he already had the disease) and drinks at...
Thank you, Joann, for your support and understanding. I, to am exhausted; I cannot and will not continue fighting this battle alone. He was initially diagnosed with cirrhosis, but then when he was...
Oh, BLESS YOU! I thought I would get scolded for even suggesting that I buy his liquor. I KNOW it's not the right thing to do, but if I don't then he will drive down to the store (still doesn't have...
Oh, Pink grandma....what a PLEASANT surprise! That is SO very kind of you for caring to write me first...I have been so busy lately. Things aren't looking too well....were your ears buzzing? Hubby...
Thanks for your quick response, Shelly! No, he's just exhausted.....the dr. called me back and INSISTED I bring him in today, which I will. He is just SO lethargic, and this distaste for food is...
I apologize for not putting a title for the above post.It is in regards to my hubby not wanting to eat or drink. I am very concerned....
Hubby has not eaten in three days. Sips a little soda or water...that's all. Last night I was making Beef Stroganoff (which he loves) and he asked me to turn off the stove as the smell was making him...
Hi, everyone. I know it's been awhile, but nothing's changed. As they say, no news is good news. Hubby is just so fatigued. Eats sporatically. Now I have a question...HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?? I am...
Sorry i haven't been up to date with my posting and reading; alot has been going on around here. Hubby spends at least 20 hours in bed from fatigue; not necessarily sleeping. Still eating salt and...
ButterflyThree, we too are waiting for SSDI to come through. I was told if the patient has cirrhosis, no matter HOW they got it, they were eligible for benefits! My hubby is too weak to get online to...
I agree wholeheartedly, Shelly! It's as if the end is near, so why bother? But there IS still hope for him! Big sigh. Funny thing, he kept down a taco last night, but can't keep fluids down (or in)....
Oh, my dear Butterflythree, I will be praying for you as well! I am working part-time because I want to be with my husband as caregiver when I can. He NEEDS me, and I need him! And to think i was...
Oh, that's okay...i'm glad you wrote back! My hubby won't go see the dr. because he is continuing to smoke against the drs. wishes, and he KNOWS he will not be eligible for a transplant until he is...
[color=purple>] Butterflythree, I have to ask you if your husband has cirhosis and if he has had problems with belching alot? My hubby just wants to sleep now; has no appetite but drinks V-8 (not...
Hi! I am new to this forum. My husband has end-stage liver disease due to excessive alcohol over the years. He has ascites and is constantly belching. Even tho I buy low sodium soups and food items,...
