RUQ pain

[Diamondbabe]

Update on my husband.Now developed pain when moving and very painful to touch in RUQ.

A new day a new problem.

He was crying last night. I think he is becoming depressed with all his symptoms.

I suggested a call to our gp but he said, see how he is on Monday.

Looks like another long weekend ahead.

I hope you all get chance to enjoy the sunshine 🌞

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

[Diamondbabe in reply to MrsWorried]

Bless you xSo kind of you to reach out when you are grieving yourself.

Unfortunately he can't do very much to make memories anymore. Takes all his strength to move from one room to another.

He never leaves the house unless it's medical.

His daughter gets married in August this year and is hoping He will walk her down the side. I can't see that happening.

He is very emotional and feeling vulnerable crying a lot.

He still doesn't connect his symptoms to the alcohol.

He gets angry when I leave the house. He locked me out yesterday. So out of character for him.

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.

[MrsWorried in reply to Diamondbabe]

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

[Diamondbabe in reply to MrsWorried]

He is stubborn.Adult social care have been out and offered support but he won't agree to it.

Maybe in time he won't have a choice because I can only do so much.
