Those are some very tough questions about some very difficult health issues. I would recommend that if your father is willing, that the whole family meet with his doctor. In general terms, it is very important that he get his wounds treated, his blood sugar controlled, and that he stop drinking. With that, it would be our hope that even with these illnesses, your father will live a long active life.
Best of luck!

Hello
I am sorry to hear about your fathers situation. Continue to drink alcohol when there is damage to the liver is not a good situation. Although no one can tell for sure how long he is going to live, yet stopping to drink will definitely be a plus to improve his health and give him quality and more time to live.
The leg swelling may be because of multiple reason, and poor nutrition, bad veins and his heart condition will make it very difficult for the doctors to reduce the swelling.
He should follow his physicians advise and also stop drinking. Thats the best he can do.
Good luck, and hope that you succeed in inproving the hesalth of your father.
