Sorry

[Catmeow]

Hi, thanks Katie you always know the right thing to say i just want to apologise to you and everyone, because, yes I should be grateful that my hubby is alive and given up alcohol for good. I was just having a bad day. My hubs is the one dealing with this, liver disease, COPD, bronchitis etc.... sorry for my wasteful post x

Hi

I remember being at the stage you are and its awful, its never a wasted post to the be able to express how you feel, its sometime necessary.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and its made me realise how lucky I have been, it took me 10 years to get a transplant because of being in the 'to well' stage.

Your time and goods days will on the way will happen

Hi

Don't apologise for things getting too much for you, its hard looking after somehow who is ill even when you love them so much. My gran use to tell my mum "be careful, the posts holding the creeky gate can break first under the strain" an old saying but very true. You have to look after yourself as well as your husband. Sometimes be a little selfish and put yourself first,there is no shame in that . Xx

No need to apologise at all. The reason we are all here is to vent our frustrations among people who genuinely understand and to provide support to those that we can.

It’s a horrrible time for partners, those of us who have the illness do realise that, and trust me I am so so grateful to my partner for the support she gave me when I was poorly!!

Good luck - to both of you.

Andy.

Hi Cat

Please - as others say - no need to apologise at all! I have always said it must be far far worse for the carer than it is for the patient. My poor wife had to put up with decompensated misery guts, HE ridden, old me for four years before my TP.

You’ll get there I am sure. The light at the end of the tunnel glows very brightly indeed once you get on the TP list #1, get THE call #2, and then the recovery #3. Life for you both 🤞 will be much much better thereafter....

Good luck to you both.

Miles

No need to apologize and especially not to me, you and I are in a very similar boat and we both wished our hubbies could get that golden gift of life renewed but at the moment we have to look after ourselves and our men and make sure we make the most of any good days. The point of this forum is to have a safe place to vent. In my reply I certainly didn't intend to make you feel bad about posting.

All the best to you both, Katie x

Hello. I am on the "list" and have worked for 3 years to get well. I was told in November 2017 that I wouldn't see spring 2018. That day changed my life.

I have been on and off the list due to various complications, but currently still waiting.

I hope you can allow yourself to relax and spend time together. My husband struggles to understand how low I can get, but every morning I get up and do my day the best I can.

I wish you much happiness and as future filled with fun💖🌈

Hi Cat,

What you set out in your post i'm sure is felt by many other relatives that have to go through the same thing you are. To be honest its probably harder for relatives to deal with than the patient as you have to watch on helplessly.

No need to apologise.

Best wishes and good luck to you and your husband.
