Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have been a bad supporter lately. i looked in my in box and see 300+ post...i just want to say Hi and welcome to those who are new and to those who have been here for awhile but don't post much...My husband has liver disease and is currently waiting a transplant. we jave a few problems associated with the disease but nothing has been unmanageable yet. his last MELD was 19. i will likely get labs again this this week. he has had increased swelling in his feet and legs. it got pretty bad yesterday. about 2x the size of what is normal. he has a mind set that says if he doesnt think sick then he will not be sick. he has been hiding the swelling from me. I get frustrated.... he fell out side the other night and laid in the mud and rain till he was able to get up. i was not home. he called me at work and told me. he was alright just his pride was hurt. he wont stop. he as this internal need to be as productive as possible. every morn when i come home has to fix me breakfast even if i am not hungry. he feels this is what he should do. although sweet as can be i can tell he is tired. i tell him not to but he wont rest till he does so i eat and he is happy. i do the best i can and let him go and go till he can go no further then i will try to pick him up. And even in the most serious of situations he will try to deny this horrific event he is going thru. sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
