Cirrhosis .. ? here

[doininit]

My husband is showing all signs of cirrhosis.
I too am wondering what to expect?

I have read info doing google searches but
can not locate any data on when the end
arrives.  Everyone gets treatment and recovers.

No not everyone for the person I married
has been over powered by the poison and is
in 100 % denial.
I have told him the signs I see that I have been
researching.

Can you point me in a direction where one might
locate this info.

That did give me a little more info ..
Thanks.

Yes I know that my husband is not the only person that is suffering
it is everywhere ..

My husband has been drinking for 45 yrs.. his father used to feed
it to him ..
The past nine yrs he has drank 18 - 24 beer a day .. still gets up and goes
to his job.

Sneezing and the hiccups are extremely dangerous ..
His eyes have not turned yellow yet but his complexion is yellow
and red.

It amazes me how durable the body is..
I've read that .. it is a painful death ..
that the liver doesn't say its unhappy until its been killed.

I need to look after me ..
If I have knowleged that will assist me in what the future holds.

Thank you for Your Time.. JML

I can not point you in any direction, but I can tell you that 10 days ago we buried my uncle who died from it and I stood there by his bed and watch as he took his last breathe. It is an extremely painful death yet that does not matter when you are trying to tell your loved one to stop drinking.  It took 11 years for it to kill my uncle, and I watched as he went from this very vibrant man to this deathly ill man who needed round the clock care. The day he died was shocking even though we knew what to expect, I will be happy to share them with you if you want. Just let me know.
