Thanks Anna :-) and everyone else xx Your comments are very much appreciated.
Well I've had all the tests completed today. Now I wait ....again.
My specialist has decided not to do a liver biopsy as he is concerned there is a risk I could bleed out. I'm happy with that decision. He also said due to the fact my liver is fatty it's virtually hit and miss as to wether the needle will pick up a healthy bit of liver or not.
I had a chest X-ray , not sure the reason for that ! But it was after examining me.
He was very impressed that I have lost 30 lb and have not had a drink in 21 months.
He said congratulations and that made me feel really good. I often wonder if under their breath they think ( deadbeat) alcoholic. But he was very genuine.
He said I look too well to imminently be in danger so we are going to play the wait and see game.
He said as long as I'm feeling well , we shall keep going down this road of frequent testing .
It's true , I do feel well , since I've lost weight I feel so much lighter , happier . I sleep better too.
He said the most important key factors with a fatty liver is 2 things !
To LOSE WEIGHT and to STOP DRINKING.
since I have done both of those , I have got THE hardest part out of the way. It wasn't easy , but I don't want to die yet , I have way too much to live for.
I'm looking forward to my results & will know more on the 16th June when I have my liver ultrasound.
I'll worry if and when there is something to worry about.
Life is good
Oh and Anna ...I got myself another Meezer :-) a kitten for Ralph , he's a blue point called Spike
I love him to bits xx
