Alcohol abuse & damage in latter years?

2017-12-24 17:15:59
Hi There. Looking for some direction and advise. My dad lives with me and is slowly deteriorating, age 59. He is 16 years sober. He started drinking at the age of 16.. His liver has regenerated and bloods do not show the enzyme that is shown in those who still drink heavily. Bloods don't show cancer/aids/ any issues. Had a G Scope and Barrum swallow. All is fine. He weighed 86.5kg in January this year and is 62kg now. Short term memory loss is very apparent. No strength. Not sleeping well.
