Topic: RE: I'm still here, only sick

The process is a long one with many tests.

I went to the the
University of Pennsylvania.

I still have three tests done which will be done this coming Friday and then I'll be pu on the list. Due to my liver damage they said I'll be higher on the list.

They put you on a National list. I was explained to us that if FL calls and says they have match it's our choice if we want the liver but we must pay our own way there plus once a year for the first 5 years must travel back to FL to be checked and make sure my liver is fine.

Hopefully I'll find a Liver here in PA.

Donna,

I'm so sorry to hear that your not feeling well.  I'm not very familiar with the process of the transplants are you very far down on the list?  How long do you think it will e till you get your new liver? 

I'm praying for you.

I totally believe in you Loni.  I think we all need our reality checks sometimes when we go off course!

Good Luck!

Topic: I'm in time-out!!
Talked to my surgeon on the phone this afternoon about my hypoglycemia, which he told me that is not uncommon for post ops.  Ok I can deal with that and I know that I need to be diligent and eat the way I know that my body needs.  Then came the tough question from him.  How's your weight doing? 
Uggggg!!!  If there is one person in the world  that I'm going to be completely honest with it's Dr. Warnock,so I told him that I'm up 14# more than I want to be and really only 8# more than he wants me to be.  He was just like he always is, kind, compassionate and tells me like it is. 

So starting tomorrow morning I'm in a "Time Out", that meaning I have a protein drink for breakfast and dinner and lunch is a salad.  I know that I can deal with that and I know that it is what I need to do to get things back on track. I think I"m more upset with myself for allowing myself to get here and if I'm once again going to be honest I know ultimately it's my fault.  So I will do what I need to do to be better for myself, I deserve it!!!!

Thank you Dr. Warnock for always wanting the best for me.  I truly appreciate all you've done for me and I never want to let you down.  Thank you also to all of  you on the OH message board, you all are an inspiration to me. 

Take care,
Loni

Brooke,

Maybe you need to change up your exercise program. Sometimes our bodies can get used to what we are doing and we need to change what we are doing.  Take a deep breath and try to relax.  Your doing great.

Ah Brooke you are doing great! If I wasn't pregnant Id totally do this with you. It helps when not alone. But Ill keep encouraging you!
Maybe increase water and cardio or change your food plan a bit. What about doing a no carb for a bit to get jump started?? and maybe no caffeine  for a bit?? I know thats hard though. Just trying to give you some ideas. As soon as this baby is born Ill be right here with you!

HAve a great day!
You are doing great!
