The Ark

Whatever floats your boat...

I go in tomorrow for some surgery so I can start eating again and maybe even sleep comfortably for a while. The doctors aren't sure yet whether it will be in-patient or out-patient due to the scale of the operation but we *do* know that I will have tubes hanging out of me for at least a week. They are going to try to drain and seal the 3 most offending groupings of cysts. Consider that I have literally thousands of cysts inside and out of a liver that fills my entire body cavity. The surgeon performing the procedure *has* done this before on someone like me,....once,...and he's the expert in this field.

I'm so special.

At worst, I'll get a temporary reprieve from this hell for a couple of months and at best, maybe for 6 months until the liver spurts again and fills the room made by the absence of fluid filled cysts.

I'll try to do a video update soon and I'm hoping to maybe do a bit of editing if I get to come home while I'm draining.

Getting old 'aint for pussies.

Wish me luck.

 

Much love and gratitude,

Amy

News flash  Per BlancheNoE :  Alcohol is good for the liver.   Kinda sounds like a rubber ducky going in.

I've been so lied to since grades school.
