Just found a letter from the hospital which my AH had tried to hide. It is an appointment for his liver scan on Wednesday. I don't know why he hid it. I would have phoned to check if nothing had arrived by Monday.
Perhaps he is a little scared of the result. I think I know the result already - but maybe not. I asked him (during one of our many snipes at each other, can't really call them arguments) if he wanted to die. His reply was that several of his friends and family had died young so why not him?! I couldn't be bothered to answer that - it would have been pointless.
The doctor has signed me off work with stress - quite alien to me; I am hardly ever off sick with anything, let alone stress! I always the one who copes, come what may.
I am trying to prepare my son (who has learning disability) for what may happen but struggling to find right words. May be because I haven't fully accepted it myself yet.
Of course you are stressed however, livers can regenerate themselves if given the chance, You and your family are in my prayers....Happy mother day....try to enjoy your son today....let got and let go dear friend it is going to be what it is going to be.
I've certainly been there. The ex A had a liver disease because of his addiction. I am sorry you are going through this. I am glad you can lean on this board.
