> the speed of the deterioration is what is so shocking... he also had severe liver failure.. with no indication
That is exactly it. Looking back I can see things that may have been an indication of liver problems, but he had various test over the last couple of years, including bloods, urine, scans and x-rays, so I'm not sure what more could have been done. As he was on long-term Previcox for his arthritis he had very regular check ups, and it was probably that that caused or exacerbated the problem. There are lots of ifs and buts, but at the end of the day my special man has gone and is now at peace.
Thank you all for your support during this awful time. xxx
