Hi oshobabi and

Your brother sounds like my father. He just sits in front of the TV, drinking and smoking all day and all night. He really only stops to go to sleep. He hardly eats and only goes out in order to get beer and cigarettes and occasionally a hot dog from the convenience store. His stomach is bloated, his feet and ankles are swollen, and he makes horrible noises from his wrenching gut pain. He has no life, no relationships with his children or grandchildren. It is very sad. He has been this way since 1989 and is now 72. We have thought ALL these years, "Surely he cannot live another year." but he has.
