fed-up-and-fat
hoping for a good loss
Not CD related at all.
My uncle was diagnosed with alcohol induced hepititis about 6 weeks ago and told he had 6 months. He has gone down so rapidly and is now entering the terminal phase.
Trouble is he lives in South Africa and their palliative care is dreadful. My parents are getting flights out asap (is my dads BIL) I wish I could go with them. Am sat here crying as I type. Both mum and I work in a hospice and know how end of life care should be. We know he isn't going to get the same care over there, but at least if mum is there she can encourage the specialist to give my uncle the right drugs whilst he is dying.
He is in so much pain and is confused and had a fall today. My poor aunt is really struggling to cope. Wish they had a decent health care system - there is no need for him to suffer like he is.
I just pray that mum and dad will get out there in time. Hope they can get flights for tomorrow.
Sorry to ramble, need to let it out
