Golly! As you say it all sounds a little questionable. Cirrhosis perhaps? I had some contact with a guy who was in the later stages of this. He didn't look too bad, was only 35 and died a shortish time after.
I've also had dealings with a guy who lied about his partner having cancer in order to take some time off work (and earn freelancing income too.) Oh, the joys of working in HR!
Who knows what is happening, but I guess you can move towards D at a 'helpful' pace, ensuring all aspects are resolved to your satisfaction.
Sorry things are still headed in this direction, but it's good if you now feel the main areas are resolved.
Take care x
