/community/emoticons/tongue.gif Hi PG & Connie, It's so good to be conversing with you again. You 'all' help to keep my spirit up! You know PG, I still haven't gotten rid of Dad's meds. I don't...
Goodmorning June, I sure hope you mean xifaxan. What you read is correct. It is given to patients with e-coli to rid the body of bacteria through waste, but without so much diahrrea like the...
Hi Connie & everyone, I finally have a little quiet time. I spent most of the day in the ER with Mom whilr Terry stayed home with a small bit of encephalopathy. He was able to care for himself...
Thank you Pix and "Hello" I think his scrape is going to be OK. He says it doesn't hurt anymore, but I am still keeping an eye on it. I do take care of myself and when I feel the stress coming on, I...
[color=blue>Hi] [sup][color=#0000ff>I] I have been reading some posts that I have missed. There are so many new people here. Hello to everyone! [sup][color=#0000ff>I] Both of their diseases are...
Hi Butterflythree, Congratulations to you and your daughter!!! Good news abounds. I hope your husband & son have a great time at the game tonight. What will you be doing? :) Carol...
Dear LaBunna, My words cannot express how thankful I am that your husband was able to get a transplant. It imust be surreal. My husband is no longer eligable for a transplant, but I am thrilled that...
Well Helen, I don't understand why they took him off of the Nexavar. It is a target drug and it should go after the liver cancer cells anywhere in his body. Terry will take it for the rest of his...
Hello JoAnn, I've been pretty busy myself. Got my yard mowed yesterday and car washed today and a nice Sunday dinner cooked. Mom had a bad day, but that finally calmed down and she & Terry sat...
Hello Bmmmw and welcome to HealingWell. I just posted about my husband starting to take his Lactulose again. He refused for a long time because it kept him in the bathroom too much. His Drs. have...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Hip, Hip, Hooray!!! Terry finally agreed to take his Lactulose! He was much better today. After I told him what all he did and how mant times I had to clean the walls...
Connie, I just watched that movie. Then I watched "The Bucket List". That was a good movie too. I get 2 movies a month from Netflix. Terry seems a little better today so far. He finally drank a...
/community/emoticons/smile.gif And congrats to you Butterflythree. Only 1 month to go for you. How's your daughter doing? Carol...
This will be her 2nd child. Her due date is March 11. I'm so excited again. [img]/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Carol[/color]...
Hi Michele, Sounds like you have some really great teens. No, this doesn't seem real to me either. Terry found out in 2003. He has probably had HepC for a long time. Even though the cancer is almost...
Hello Butterflythree, Yes Terry has cravings for sweets. The Dr said it is a substitute for alcohol. He doesn't eat much of anything these days. Nothing tastes right to him anymore, so he turns to...
Hi Butterflythree, Well, we didn't make it to the beach, but Mom & I did take a short ride down by the zoo. We didn't stop, but you can ride through and see some of the animals. Terry is in a real...
Connie, I had been wondering about that. I was talking to Mom about you and told her that I was going to ask you about it. It is a miracle in itself, to me, that the liver will regenerate itself. I...
/community/emoticons/cool.gif Hi Julykid, Welcome to the HealingWell forum. I am Carol(54) and my husband(56) is suffering from this disease also. He does not have diabetes, although the hospital...
Chris_73, I don't mean any disrespect, but how in the world did you find a spider naevi in your nose? Carol...
/community/emoticons/tongue.gif We have no scheduled appointments tomorrow. I hope I can get Mom and Terry to take a drive to the beach tomorrow. I think we all need that. They have both been...
/community/emoticons/tongue.gif that. You have a lot to offer. Sometimes I forget that you have liver disease. I just always think of you being from WV and that is so close to my stomping ground. I...
/community/emoticons/devil.gif Am I going to have to come to TN and write it on your forehead?!!! ...
the Nexevar? Did you read our last thread? Terry has done very well with his treatments and the Nexevar. The cancer is almost undetectable. It's the chirrosis and HCV that is getting him down now....
Dear Sue, PG, & Butterfly, I am not having a good caregivrer day. I will try to do better today. Right now, the dogs are resrless and so am I. It's not a pity party. I am just so-o-o tired. Terry is...
Hello La Bunna, Welcome to the forum. The thread that Connie is talking about~ I bumped to the top so it would be easy for you to find. I am sorry that your husband is having such a hard time, but it...
[img]/community/emoticons/smurf.gif Hi Butterfly, [color=#800080> [color=#800080>Your] That was a lot of emotional fallout to deal with in one day. That can be very exhausting. [color=#800080>...
So sorry, Momyfor2. Please accept my sincere condolences. I understand your sadness. I cared for my father for a year, here in my home. He passed away last Oct. and the sadness was overwhelming. My...
Hi Connie, I hope you are right about there not being enough fluid to drain right now. Do you know yet why the larger tubing wasn't used. Was the message not made clear? Wasn't that the purpose of...
Dear Momyfor2, We haven't heard from you in a few days. How is your mother? I hope our prayers are helping you all in some way. Blessings, Carol...
Hi Connie, I'm just checking in to see how you're doing and wanted to say Hello. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to draw blood. The last time I had mine checked, the girl hurt me so bad I was...
That's great Toni! Say Hello to Will for us and tell him how happy we all are for him. Funny thing is, Terry feels so bad from his meds that he doesn't feel like his cancer is gone. Blessings to you...
Nikin, If you can get her on the Charity Program, maybe they will stsrt treating her again. It's worth a try. Carol...
Hi JoAnn, Make Jerry keep his socks on all day, everyday and prop them up as much as possable. That's what worked for Mom. I took her to the eye Dr. today and that took 2 1/2 hours of sitting in a...
Thanks Connie! I knew you would come through for Nikim. I sure hope she investigates the Charity Program. Is there a caregiver support group in her area that she could look into? Hi Nikim, I...
Hi Nikim19 and welcome to HealingWell, I'm so sorry that your Mom is having to go through all this. I am sure that when hep93(Connie) sees your posts and sees that you are dealing with the Mayo...
Hello Butterflythree, Glad to see you here a little more lately. Terry sometimes gets upset when he sees me coming towards the computer. He wonders who I am always talking to. He forgets how much new...
Thank you for the info, Sue. It is hard to get Mom to try new things, but I will get this and maybe she will try it. Her body is so hooked on the Lomotil, that if something else did work, I'm sure...
Hi Sue, I didn't know that we might be eligable for a discount on utilities. I'm sure going to check that out. Last week, I applied for the Homestead Act for disabled people. We received our letter...

Hi John, I read your blog. Very interesting content and no one would ever know you get in a fog sometimes. Carol...
He didn't even take anything last night and still he slept GOOD. Terry is up and out on the porch trimming his toenails. Maybe that's TMI. :) He wants to do something, but I can't take Mom out in...
Terry has been trying the Trazadone for 2 nights now. He has slept through both nights. /community/emoticons/yeah.gif He also sleeps half the day, but he still sleeps at night. He tried 50mg and...
You and your MOM are on my prayer list, Momyfor2. Bless you all, Carol...
[color=#ff0000> ] That's what I would say to my husband, if he ever said these things to me. But, it's OK if he never does. Carol [b][i] [/b]...
{{{Hello Sue}}} I'm so sorry for you and what you're all going through. As much as I read about this disease, it still scares me when I read a posts like yours. I doubt that anyone can ever be...
Connie, I've been wondering, and will do some research, that if all of Terry's cancer is gone for an extended time if they would consider a transplant again. I would think that the decision would be...
Hi Connie, I think I posted the good news somewhere else. I just can't remember where. I probably keep repeating myself. You know, this is really great news! What's wrong with us? I guess it's just...
