Uncle Bill's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. It doesn't look too pretty.
And given that he still has a dilaudid pump in his stomach to manage the pain of his other health concerns, who knows if he'll ever be a decent candidate for a transplant.
Uncle Rick had another heart attack on Monday, last week. Mild, but they're questioning if it's a small one leading up to a larger attack.
Mom has several kidney stones again, in both kidneys.
I am sick, just when I was finally reaching a point when I thought I could (kind of. almost) function again. I caught something from Dad, and it's apparently tearing my entire system to shreds. I'm already browning out from little things like reaching to the other end of the couch. Normal HR has increased from 100 to 135. I've coughed my throat raw enough to be coughing up small amounts of blood (wow, been a while since I've done that one. Did not miss it.)
