Hi guys
I have severe liver disease (since I'm sure you're all wondering what the heck is wrong with me lol) and it's made my life a living hell. I've been hospitalized 9 times since my hysterectomy in January, for a total of approximately 4.5 months in the hospital, all stays considered. I got down close to 100 pounds, which on my 5'4" frame is frankly anorexic looking, not to mention dangerous. I'm on a buttload of medications to treat the complications from the disease, have regular drainage of accumulated fluid in my abdomen that the liver cannot process (this is not fun, it hurts damnit) where they typically drain between 10 - 13 litres of fluid, am in pain and overall grumpy. haha
This has literally killed both my physical and mental health. For a while there it killed my spirit, but I won't give in! So. Onward and upward. Every day is a new day. And all that other positive **** I tell myself. (snickers)
Enough of the boring details and whining. I'm baaa-aaack...
Love,
me. xo

So sorry to hear what's been going on Karen. I'm glad to hear you're back though. Guess I will return too - just to see your posts! I've been in hell too - as a result of my hysterectomy earlier this year - they damaged my pelvic nerves. ouch. I hear you on the physical and mental health - and killing the spirit. I hope we can catch up at a coffee night soon.
Love Lisa
