Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thanks Shari, I am trying things at a very slow rate. I like to know what each thing does. B vitamins have been problematic for us in the past so I've put that in the future. I'm gathering information about TD-DMPS and so far it is looking good. Thanks for the info and glad your daughter is doing well. Have you been doing biomedical treatments for a long time?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Love history, Gerard, and do not know nearly enough about New Orleans, a place rich in history, so thanks for sharing.. Have you been to the WWII museum? I saw signs about it all over New Orleans last week. The historian and writer Ambrose, who was so instrumental in establishing that museum had a second home in Bay St. Louis. Before I retired, I was an intensive care nurse, and he was my patient the night he died. One of my sons loves history and was a huge Ambrose fan. So sad to lose him. W.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hello All! I just joined the group and hope to get some answers about Cirrhosis from real people, not by googling it. My step-father was diagnosed with Alcohol Induced Cirrhosis. After retiring I believe he became depressed and started drinking heavily. For the past 4 months my mother has taken care of him 24/7. He is so weak and sleeps approximately 20 hours out of the day. He has lost so much weigh but has a huge belly and his arms are terribly bruised / spotted. Could this be that his liver is failing?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 <And now everything my mom made, wore, touched etc..I can't seem to part with.> Pamela, Don't rush that. The time will come when it will seem right to go through your Mom's things and part with some of them. Some you'll never want to part with. Grief is a process and it shouldn't be rushed. Let it happen in it's own time. The Lord will give you peace about letting go of her things when the time is right for you. I'm praying for you cause I've been where you are now. Hugs......... Diane Re: Intro Welcome Tina and other new members..I can't keep up today....I'm decluttering under the house and it is a MESS! I just wanted to check in and say hi! I'm praying for all of you and yours, lots of time as I declutter, to ask the Lord to bless you all today. I am Pamela, caregiver to my mom who died of cirrhosis in Feb '08. Today as I was going through stuff, I found a box of things we used while caring for mom. Meds, bed pads, shampoo caps, a baby monitor, thermometer etc.. All over again..the thoughts came flooding back of when I was turning her every couple hours, feeding her, giving her meds etc.. But no tears today, which is really strange, but a welcomed relief from all the other days that I do cry. I miss her something terrible!! I know caregiving is hardwork, but hang in there! It is a huge blessing to give the gift of caregiving! And when you think you can't go on, remember the One who is helping you, He really will carry you during the hard times, don't be afraid to ask, He is a great listener!! I hope you all find help here at this wonderful group. I sure have and continue to be blessed by the sweet fellowship! Well, back to it! It feels good to work hard, but I am shocked at how much STUFF has accumulated over the years. And now everything my mom made, wore, touched etc..I can't seem to part with. Blessings All..

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 ya, well here I was tucking in the last of the stuff into the medical supplies box and I found the pink basin they give you at the hospital. Inside it was a single hair from my mom....that was it.....I burst into tears, to touch a part of her....I miss her so much! Jesus can't come soon enough to please me...but I know he is being patient so everyone can have a chance to know Him.....and these feelings are kind of worldly, earthly feelings, not heavenly feelings. I don't think I love the way Jesus loves, but He's working on me. Thanks for your kind words and prayers Diane!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Oh , how precious to have those things from your son. Treasures you will always have to keep near you. From the things you have written, I know he was a wonderful young man. If you would like to share the poem, by all means, we would love to read it. However, if it is too personal, don't feel obligated to share it with us. You always have my prayers , and my gratitude. Nothing could ever repay you for the life of your child, yet he gave it willingly for his country. Please know we are forever in your debt. My prayers are with you as you face your emptiness.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi Tina, Yes, cirrhosis causes extreme fatigue and weakness. My husband is to the point now that he barely has enough energy to go from his bed to his recliner. He hardly eats anymore because it makes him nauseous. I could go on and on, but I believe you understand. I am so sorry about your step-dad's cancer and all the other issues he is dealing with. Please know he, your Mom and you and all family are in my prayers. Hugs............ Diane Intro Hello All!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Jill, I can relate to your story. My stepdad lives in my dad's and mom's home (where my brothere and I were raised) and somehow the house that mom always told us that would be ours because of daddy is now in my stepfather's name......mom passed many years ago. I haven't spoken to him since 2003 when my half-brother died and don't plan on talking to him again. I don't want anything to happen to him but have no desire to open that communication again. I just don't have the energy anymore. I stay tired and I hurt all over.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks Diane. How long has your husband had cirrhosis? I feel for you as I know how exhausted my mom is. Yesterday my dad fell and she had to have Fire Rescue come to help her get him in bed. She says he is just getting weaker by the day and he hardly eats a thing...but his belly gets bigger. I think he's depressed to as my mom says he barely talks when he is awake and he's alienated himself from everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Oh Lord, Jill, I can't even imagine that. I am so very sorry you have had to live through that. It is very strange to me that he would react in that manner, especially since they were together for so many years. Gosh, so even though she's been gone for 4 years, you only got to go through her things one year ago. Your grief is still very fresh then. Going through the possesions opens the wounds back up and makes everything so fresh all over again. I am just so, so sorry. I just don't even have words to express myself. Love and hugs...........
