My Dad called me yesterday, he had just been to the doctor. He was encouraged, she said the diuretics were working, and she increased the dosage. She also gave him a new schedule, she wants to see him every 2 weeks instead of every week.
The doctor told him if he can get the edema stabilized, she feels he would have no problem with the surgery to correct the herniated disc and relieve some pressure on the spine.
I called the doctor and spoke with her myself -
She said what he told me...and more.
She said this is where he is now. He will not get better. His symptoms (from the PBC or Primary Biliary Cirrhosis) are increasing, and not reversing. As his disease progresses, his symptoms will increase...
I am tired...I am hoping for this time to be tolerable, but it doesn't look good right now.
