Saw my doc again
I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the latest news from my doc, and I guess the best way is to just say that I’m dieing. I could live another three or four months, or it could happen next week (probably not), but I won’t be able to say goodbye when the time comes, so I’m saying it now.
I continue to lose weight and am down to 128 pounds. The problem is that my liver is so enlarged that it is crowding my stomach, and nothing can be done. My doc says if my liver was normal size, I’d probably weigh about 100#. Eventually, I’ll be too weak to eat.
After telling me this, my doc increased my oxy, so I’ll have plenty of pain relief, and we shook hands goodbye. That pretty much says it all.
In the past, I’ve said don’t feel sorry for me, and I really mean it now; I’ve wanted to move on for a long time now. I know where I’m going, and I know I’ll be happy. My family will miss me for a while, but we won’t be apart very long, and then we’ll be together for Eternity.
We’ll all have the opportunity to meet; I don’t pretend to understand how God does things, but I know that loving fathers don’t torture their children.
I’ll probably continue to post, but not about my health. I still hope to persuade someone that my hypothesis that RSD is and IRI is correct; and that there is an effective therapy for this disease, so I’ll keep trying as long as I can…Vic
