Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Oh Barby, I am so sorry sweetie. I know you were so upset already, what with your daughter's accident and all. Then, to have to hear that Little Eagle had passed on top of Bobby Glen's accident and the awful treatment you received at the ER. I know your just beside yourself. If Bobby Glen is having difficulty breathing, I would most definitely follow up with your PCP or GI. That could be related to the liver disease. I know how hard Chief's death hit you. I still just can't wrap my head around it. I think its because of what you said, if Cheif died, that means this whole nightmare is real and Terry is gonna die too. It's just surreal to me. My heart is so heavy and sad for us and for Chief's family, but I know I should be happy for him because his suffering is over now. He can breathe freely and walk about with ease and enjoy himself once again. I always have troublel with this. I don't do grief well, I wonder if anyone does. Anyway, I'm praying for you honey and for Bobby Glen. Love and hugs..........

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I would report the doctor's conduct to the hospital administration. As to Chief's death, yes it really does make it come home. I have accepted the fact that I don't have too many years to live, generally say about 3, ( three years from now if I am still here will still be saying I have about three years to live) but to find out that someone who had posted here not too many days ago has died, really makes it real.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Jill, no I am not a candidate for transplant for a couple of reasons. I am 65 now. I also have a number of other medical conditions which mean they won't give me a transplant, 6 stents in my heart, a triple bypass, carotid artery surgery, a stent in the right iliac crossing my aorta, hypothyroidism, and a bunch of there minor medical problems. I might be able to qualify in some other state, but in Arizona there is too much of a shortage of organs to give one to me. Jan H > Jan, I don't know much about your situation.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 My mother faced this same dilemma in TN when she was diagnosed with end stage renal failure. She was 64 with Alzheimer's and heart disease. We were told that, due to her age and dementia, she could not qualify. It was a hard thing to accept at first, but as Momma got sicker, the dementia became worse and we realized that the Alzheimer's would be almost impossible to overcome under such stressful circumstances as a transplant. I'm sorry Jan. I know the disappointment and grief of facing a future with no alternatives. I'm sorry for you and for your family. Hugs.................

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 It was a shock when I was first told that I wouldn't qualify for a transplant. It was about a year after my diagnosis, and that doctor had told me I had 2 to 3 years to live if I didn't have a transplant. Then I went to a transplant team to be evaluated at Banner Good Samaritan in Phoenix. Those doctors were really nasty, asked me why I thought I needed a transplant, and if I did, why I thought I would get one. I left there in tears. So, I went to the Mayo Clinic. They were very nice, but also said that I wouldn't qualify for a transplant in Arizona because of my heart problems, even though I have never had a heart attack, their was no damage to my heart, just had the arteries cleaned out. Made me too big a risk for donation with the limited number of organs here. I have come to terms with it. Keep having discussion with doctors who want to give me meds which would bother my liver more than it is, but I explain to them I would rather protect my liver at the expense of my heart because knowing I will die of one or the other, I would rather die of a heart attack than cirrhosis. That shuts them up. My faith is strong, so have no fear of dying. Listening to what other families here go through with the loved ones with cirrhosis does make me sad about my family. They have gone through enough with their parents already with all my medical problems and their dad has had a number of heart attacks. All our kids and their dad will be spending the next week together. I would love to go, but need to be here to provide transportation for my oldest grandson to work and not sure I have the energy to make the flight and be around people all that time. My son has promised to take a picture and leave a space for me which my oldest daughter can make look like we were all there together. It is a dream of mine to have all my children together down here. I have a fourth child who has never seen his brother. And I have only seen him with one of the girls. He was adopted as a baby because I wasn't married when he was born. A no no in MN when he was born in 67. I found him in 2000.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Jan, I admire you so much and I admire your faith. It is what gets me through these difficult days. I just simply couldn't face all of this without the hope my faith offers me. I am so thankful you found your son! I am so sad that you won't get to be with your family, but I certainly understand the issues with strength and the ability to be with people for a whole week. Terry is barely able to be with a group for a few minutes now. It just makes him so nervous, he suffers afterwards and it's not worth it to him. Our family has been very supportive and understanding. I wish I could say the same for some of our so-called " friends " who have spread some vicious rumors because I asked them not to come over. But, I don't care what they think or say. My priority is Terry and if they don't understand, then I just pray they never have to go through it so they will. I'm praying for you Jan and for your family. Hugs..............

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Diane, Thanks for the kind words. It seems I have to take things about every other day. Sometimes the world isn't operating on that schedule,like this week. Today, church was at 9:30, Adult Bible study at 10:30, Council meeting is coming up at 1 and I have been doing a newsletter for the members which means I should be there. Need to take my grandson to work at 1 too, so that will work pretty good. Tomorrow I don't get to rest though. I usually have 10 AM women's Bible Study, but won't make that tomorrow because my second grandson has a court hearing 35 miles away at 11AM. Tues we have a Bible study in our church at 2 and I attend one at the home of friends on Tues at 5:30. Wednesday I get to rest. Wish I could spread out those Bible studies, but it doesn't work for the other people. Just don't come look at this house. Sometimes you have trouble walking through it. And the first thing they told me in therapy after my bypass was to make sure my living situation was safe to walk around in. Good thing I can catch myself. When I do get nervous I have a prescription for xanax which really helps. Usually just use it at night to get some rest. Has Terry ever talked to the doctor about something to relax him. Thanks again Jan H > Jan, I admire you so much and I admire your faith. It is what gets me > through these difficult days.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 You know, Jan and Diane...I too feel like we just " circle the wagons " . Because we understand what is going on and deal with the medical issues everyday....we know what is best for us and our husbands. We HAVE found who are really our friends and who are not. I think soime people just can't deal with it all and some people pretend it's not happening...it's like if they say Ed has cirrhosis, it will make it worse and they might catch it or something! People in our town have Ed dying already. I guess what they don't know, they will make up. What do you do? Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I can totally relate to what you guys are saying. Charlie usually says, I'm ok. People always say, he looks so good. What shade of pale looks good?!! I understand about people think you are blowing things out of proportion. I get very frustrated sometimes. I think I will follow your lead and such not much change. Kinda cuts off the questions. Sorry if it seems I am ranting abit. I have learned alot about human nature since Charlie has been sick. Nona > > > > > > > Oh sweetie!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 The weird thing about me is that I am almost an albino naturally. I am getting darker and darker all the time and think it is probably from the cirrhosis. So, if they had seen me before, they would probably have thought I was sick because I was so pale.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yes Jill...I agree. There were times though that I just said straight out when people asked me " how's your mom? " ..I answered... " well, she's dying and today has been a really hard day, " or " she is dying, but today was a good day. " Those who are my friends wept along with me...and still do. My friend asked me at lunch today how I was doing with getting ready for my dad and brother coming for a visit. Then she asked how I was doing with Christmas, was that going to be hard for me this year (first year without my mom) and I said yes and started to tear up. She touched my hand, told me she loved me and her eyes filled with tears as well. We are told to weep with those who weep..and these days...I can even weep with complete strangers....sigh.
