Hi, I hope things are becoming clearer for you. Although my husbands illness is lymphoma not liver disease, I quickly had to learn how to be an advocate for my husband. Writing down questions, seeking meds for nausea, constipation, dyhydration, mal nutrition due to illness and chemo and meds all became part of my world. I was careful what I read from Google and only read from reputable Medical Journels, not personal stuff which was hyped up and very scary to read, full of dangerous medical opinion and direction. So asking questions, talking to nurses, making calls to reputable organisations was very important to me. It's scarey not feeling in control and trusting your team and having faith in a Higher Power, a God of your own understanding is really helpful.
My husband almost died twice. We have been forced to try the one day at a time principle, and it works! Take good care of yourself. Rest and get fresh air somehow each day, that worked wonders for us both. Patient and carer. M.Nina

@mnina, Thank you for reply about liver disease.. We all learn when members like you take the time out of your busy day to share with others.

Your solid advocacy advice can easily translate into any disease or condition that one is faced with.

I was once very ill with liver failure, before transplant. I am familiar with one day at a time living. I am blessed to have a husband who, like you, advocated for my well being. Together, we looked for a blessing each day. It was often difficult, but, we were never disappointed.

M.Nina, I wish for you and your husband to enjoy a blessing each day - one day at a time.
