My father in law has been in and out of the hospital for the past 6 weeks.  He has CHF; 3 detected heart attacks; diabetes; has had renal failure three times, but the kidneys made a comeback; a diabetic sore on his foot (amputation delayed until stable); and now an infected gall bladder that they just drained.  Is there any hope of recovery?  If not, what is his life expectancy?  He had previous renal failure and heart attack 5 years ago.
Hi there, Theres always hope for a recovery. I will say that the fact that he recovered from his renal failure gives him a better chance.  A diabetic sore should be dealt with, but if it's not infected, then I'd agree it should wait until he's stable. As long as the infected gallbladder has been Chat Doctor.  It sounds like he may be able to recover if all his infectious sources are dealt with. I wouldn't give up hope.  I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
