A Small Amount of Good News
After being re-tested, my liver is aparently less fucked up than it originally appeared to be. This means it was one of the things I stopped for the few days between tests.
1. One a Day Weight Smart vitamins. I don’t know why I take these, I don’t have a weight problem. I just feel like they’re sort of an insurance policy type of thing.
2. Splenda. I was on Splenda hyper-drive. Splenda coffee, tea, pancake syrup. You name it, I put Splenda in it. Again, not sure why.
3. Calorie free spray butter stuff. Not sure what the hell it is, just sounds wrong.
So my liver is less bad and they let me have my meds. I am still a basket case just a slightly more spacey basket case than before. I hear it takes a couple of weeks to “normal out” so I guess only time will tell.
Nothing new to report on any of the other fronts. That is not necessarily a bad thing. I need a break from the bad. I need a break in general. At-man gets his staples out tomorrow. I am glad yet definitley not looking forward to it. I hate to think it may hurt, which I am sure it will since there is still a lump the size of a lime on the back of his noggin. I’m not talking about one of those sad little “mesh bag full on limes” type limes either. No sir, this is one of those premium limes that you buy on margarita night. At least we will be able to close the book our first trauma.
No school tomorrow yet my day is still scheduled down to the last nano-second. Do I sound as spaced out as I feel? Sorry if I am drifting here. Focus…Focus…Tomorrow…Oh yes, roller skating. We are going to our first roller skating party. I am psyched! Do you think they will play some Xanadu for me? I may wear my leg warmers just in case. It’s nice to have something to look forward to.
Well, this is about all I am capable of writing now. I think I will sit here and stare into space while D watches Mad Money.
I love Xanadu. I was sure I was the only one who even remembered it….

oh yeah, i’m guessing Splenda. I totally do not trust anything other that old fashioned sugar. But that’s just me I think…

My daughter has insisted upon a rollerskating party for her 7th birthday next week. I do believe that the last time I went rollerskating, Frankie Goes to Hollywood was topping the charts. I hope you had fun.
Years ago I took Paxil and it seemed to take FOREVER to adjust - I really felt wacked out for almost a month before I settled down a bit. I hope it goes faster for you. My doctor at the time had me get off the “man made” foods, too. She said they really aren’t good for you anyway - that they are more like chemicals than food. You might be better off without them.
I think you are on your way - up and out!

sounds like you’re a liver not a fighter

Just catching up on blogs. You have really had a shitty couple of months. Totally sucks.
Don’t worry too much about those tests until something more definitive is found. Blood tests are notoriously inaccurate and looks like they found that upon retesting.
Hope you will let us know how you are doing.

Your liver is like that tattletale kid that you want to choke the bejeezus out of….everything you put in you body shows up in a liver enzyme test.
FYI: Using a self-tanning gel put me on the liver watchlist - retested OK after stopping the gel. Who knew?

@ J.Brown - I hope that self-tanner wasn’t Jergin’s. As a pasty white girl I’d be damn-near transparent without my Jergin’s!

Glad to hear it looks better than originally thought!
