Hi Good folks, I’ve been thinking of an update for quite sometime now, so here goes.
Ex wife Liz left on 26th Jan 2004 & moved in with OM Nic & his son. I knew he was a heavy drinker & full of B.S. I think he promised her the world, things were already on the slide before Ex moved in. He was to lose almost everything in lest than 2 Yrs.
Just before Ex W moved in I knew he was a borderline diabetic & over the next 4 yrs it became full blown. In March 2008 he was hospitalised for a week & it was touch & go for 2 to 3 days (after this I think he became teetotal). I think a major factor was the drinking he did which didn’t go down too well with his medication. From time to time, to me, his skin would appear a bit yellow.
Now fast forward to late Oct 2018, Nic went down with sepsis & was in hospital twice, he must have been sent home to early the first time. A few weeks later he felt sometime building up in his stomach & my youngest D Dawn said he started to cough up blood & other stuff. He went to hospital for investigations & he was send home after about 4 days.
Then on Sunday 11th Nov 2018 Dawn, Liz & Liz’s sister planned to meet up at their old village church. Just before Dawn got there Liz said she wouldn’t becoming cos Nic was ill. While at the church Liz’s sister said Nic should have never done all that drinking & what he really needs is a liver transplant.
Nic was in hospital for 8 or 9 days, I think they pumped out about 9 litres of stuff in this time period.
Fast forward to late Jan 2019 Nic & Liz went to see a specialist at hospital 2 counties away. On Sat 26th Jan, Dawn when to visit her Mum, Liz came outside with tears in her eyes & said that Nic had cancer of the Liver & he wasn’t up to a operation/liver transplant & they said his life expectancy was 6 to 12 months. Over recent months he often went back to hospital for treatment, so Dawn didn’t think too much about his latest visit there on Sat 3rd Aug & by Tues afternoon he lost consciousness.
So on Weds evening Dawn went to visit him & she laid a hand on him & prayed for him.
Fri 9th at just gone 4:30 Pm, a priest was making his rounds & went to Nic’s bedside & Nic pasted away soon after, while the priest & Liz were still present.
Liz seem’s to be holding up well, she went back to work this Tues. But she got upset the day before, when all Nic’s hospital gear was taken out of their house.
