Have you got acrobat reader installed? If not, then you won't be

able to fill in the sheet. You can download it free under where the

link for the infoo sheet is

I'm not able to dl that acrobat reader. My computer takes too long

and then it jams up. So I'm not able to fill out that info sheet. Is

there another way?

Dear April,

By now you have probably had a chance to look up some of the information on

the internet that folks here have directed you to.... Everyone here has

experience either as a patient or a caregiver for someone with serious liver

disease. There is a great deal of information available, both from the

people on this site and from all the medical sites on the web.

But no one can predict exactly what will happen. Kjersten, my wife, was

diagnosed with cirrhosis and " end stage liver disease " in January 2004. One

of our doctors told us that while cirrhosis " always means a lessening of

life expectency, " he also said that he had seen patients with " more lives

than a cat. "

As Kjersten would say, " Cut to the chase! " Seventeen months after her

diagnosis, she passed away (June 3, 2005). During almost all of that time,

she was in " apparent " good health. It was not until March 2005 that she

began to look and act as if she were ill. Of course, she took a lot of

prescriptions...lasex and enulose being the main ones...but while I could

tell she was not her " usual " self, no one else, including close friends and

family, suspected anything.

I would tell you, frankly, that while you should hope and work towards the

best, you should also plan for the worst. You need to be sure that all the

legal matters are in place. Sometimes people resist this (my Dad is a

good/bad example). You should have a durable power of attorney (durable

means that it is in force even if he is not awake....i.e., able to revoke

the power of attorney). Since cirrhosis patients often fall into a coma

before death, it is important to have a " durable " power of attorney.

You also need to have a " health care surregate " form signed and notarized.

This is often part of a form that gives you the power to make health care

decisions...but goes beyond death. You also need to make sure you have a

will.

I know that all of this is depressing. No one really wants to think about

their death, let alone the death of some one they love. But you and your

husband must realize that it is an act of love to do this. I don't know

where you live (I'm in Vero Beach, Florida), but you can probably get all

this legal work done by an attorney for about $150. It's a

bargain....believe me!

As to what you can expect....for the first year after her diagnosis,

Kjersten was in apparent good health...it was only after a full year that I

began to see her overtaken by fatigue frequently. And then, in the last six

months of her life, she began to seriously retain fluid and we had many

paracentises ... a drawing off of fluid from her abdomen.....

She died waiting for her last paracentesis...neither of us expected her

death. You should read my last post... you will never regret telling your

husband " I love you. " You will never regret holding him in your arms on the

sofa...you will never regret loving him.

Write to me directly if you wish....

Here is a site which gives information about faster

transplants preformed in other countries. Shorter

waiting list goes together with a paid service.
