I'm so scared I'm going to lose him
We got married last August and have been together a little more than 3 years. He just got out of the hospital. He's really really sick. They say they can treat it for now, but he is just deteriorating so quickly. He already takes really good care of himself, so as far as lifestyle changes there just isn't anything more he can do to improve his health.
I have been walking around in a fog. Work has become so difficult. I feel sick to my stomach all the time, and he feels guilty for putting me through this. How do I stop worrying? How do I just let it be and enjoy whatever time there is left? He is only 37. This should not be happening.
Re: I'm so scared I'm going to lose him
He has been diabetic for about six or seven years, and he just keeps having complications. He was already blind and has had bone infections in his feet which started with a small cut or blister. The last infection reached the bone in under two weeks despite him being on oral antibiotics the entire time. It took almost a year to heal and he almost had to have part of his foot amputated.
Last week he gained about 30 lbs in just a couple of days and then he couldn't stop coughing. He went to urgent care and it turned out he has congestive heart failure and kidney failure. He had fluid in his lungs which was making him cough.
The truly scary thing is that the doctors can't explain why this is happening. He maintains a healthy weight, goes to the gym six days a week and walks to and from work, and his blood pressure and blood sugar numbers are very good. But for some reason his organs and systems just keep failing.
