Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

[FranC]

Glad you're safe, pretty bird

 

[tiburonfirst]

but we should be grateful - apparently, it gave you such a jolt you came flying in here!

 

[tiburonfirst]

and it's time
goodnight and sweet dreams to all!

and no more rumbles for our left coast!

 

[FranC]

Sweet dreams,tib

 

[AttyPops]

Glad you're OK Tweety bird.
Missed ya here.

Watch out for those damn gas leaks, eh? Lots more shaking going on.
You're a ways away, from the epicenters, right?

Hiya, Frannie! I'm here!

 

[Katya]

Glad you're OK Tweety bird.
Missed ya here.

Missed you too. We had a health situation--BiL had to be moved from San Francisco to SoCal because of serious illness... We had to handle it all, full time job. He's at assisted living facility now.

We're quite far away, but we shook pretty well and for a long time. Everybody got dizzy. Rather unsettling, even for those who are used to earthquakes.

 

[FranC]

Hiya, Frannie! I'm here!

This is a good thing

 

[Katya]

This is a good thing

Thank you, dear.

 

[FranC]

So sorry to hear about your BIL,Tweety

Sounds scary! Glad you're OK. Good luck to the BIL, must have been a lot of work to move him.

I think we humans have a common ancestor with pack rats....

 

[Katya]

So sorry to hear about your BIL,Tweety

End stage liver and kidney disease... And before you ask, no, he never drank. It's called NASH--nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. He's on dialysis, also. Just out of the blue. He was perfectly fine 6 months ago or so--and then it all went south. He's so helpless...

 

[daleron]

Good evening snails .... waving madly at that katya!

Glad you’re safe, sorry to hear about the bil


Good night Tibs!

 

[AttyPops]

Wow. Sucks. So tragic and sounds surprising.

 

[Katya]

Good evening snails .... waving madly at that katya!

Waving madly back atcha, honey! So nice to be talking to y'all again...

Glad you’re safe, sorry to hear about the bil

Thanks.

 

[Katya]

Wow. Sucks. So tragic and sounds surprising.

Yeah. It'a a full time job. Paperwork, insurance, Medicare B, closing his apartment in San Fran, subscriptions, credit cards--you name it. He can't do anything for himself. Nothing. We're it...

 

[AttyPops]

Thank you/bless you for helping him, treasure in heaven.

I'm working on NAFLD myself, and so far haven't see a reduction. His fate is scary for me too. I'm surprised he can't do anything....is there a chance at a liver transplant?

 

[Katya]

I'm working on NAFLD myself, and so far haven't see a reduction.

NAFLD in itself can be managed and even reversed. Plenty of people live good lives with NAFLD.

His fate is scary for me too.

He has cirrhosis, ascites, edema, muscle wasting, the works. Paracentesis every two weeks. Combined with end stage kidney disease, his prognosis is not good.

I'm surprised he can't do anything....is there a chance at a liver transplant?

He can't even get up without assistance--he needs help with every simple daily task. His brain is getting affected, too. He's forgetful, irritable. He's not a candidate for a transplant, unfortunately. Just management.

 

[daleron]

Poor guy, how horrible for him.

 

[AttyPops]

NAFLD in itself can be managed and even reversed. Plenty of people live good lives with NAFLD.

I hope so, it's pretty common in our modern times. I suspect it was common before too, but just way-under-diagnosed. And people didn't used to live this long 100 years ago.

Anyway, working on it.

So sorry for your BIL. That sounds terrible. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
