Thanks I hope you don’t have to bad a weekend, just a thought and I don’t know about your partner but what about nipping toA&E just to get a check up ?? Seat of luck.
Sometimes you get sorted quicker calling 111 out of hours, don’t wait until Monday if you’re worried. Having liver disease is awful sometimes and a good cry helps. Charlie Mackesy got me through some weekends with my Mum. His pictures are on Twitter and Instagram. There’s always one that helps
Hi, I'm sorry to hear things are not improving for hubby - or you. It's now 13 weeks since hubby died, and that came a mere 7 months after anyone medical mentioned cirrhosis caused by excess alcohol. Grab a hold of life and make memories while you can xx
It's all so sad, I hope you can take a wee bit of time for yourself, to maintain sanity. PM me if you need to vent xx(Joe was waiting for the arrival of his first grandchild, even if the chance of seeing him - he was sure it would be a boy - was slim, as his daughter couldn't cope with the alcohol, and they were estranged. The boy was born about 15 hours after he died - and was the spitting image of his Grandpa when he arrived I'm this world).
It's such a shame that they miss out on all the precious moments.My husband has a son who calls about twice a year for half an hour and a daughter who lives 5 minutes walk away who only calls round if she needs something.
I think they too can't deal with the alcohol and the way he looks now.
He has 2 friends that pop round from time to time.
It feels very lonely to be honest so I need time out occasionally. It is getting harder to go out with him becoming more clingy.
Is there an organisation in your area that arranges "sitters" so you can escape even if it's just to the supermarket and you have peace of mind there's someone in the house? I feel your pain. Sending hugs xx
