I'm Back!!

It's been awhile since my last post, for good reason. In the words of my kid, I've got a new part and I'm doing awesome. My last post was late November chilling on a hospital gurney waiting for a liver, well I was sent home, second time, but they say three's a charm and it was for me. I didn't make any posts because frankly I was in a brain fog and the mere act of typing I found exhausting.

On December 7 I had an appointment with my hepatologist so my mom and I made the trek up to Indie and were back home by 6:30. My cell rang that night with a blocked call at 12:35, it was Indie, well, we were back in the car by 1, in the Hospital by 3 and I was prepped and rolling into the O.R. about 9:30. It seemed like I closed and opened my eyes and it was over, I was in a different room, soft lighting, my brother was there looking like an angel as nurses and other medical types where pulling hoses from my mouth and who knows where else. I spent 20 days in the hospital and now recovering in Cincinnati with two visits a week up to Indie to have the docs look at me.

Every day my energy level is a bit better so I'll be back to posting again on a regular basis, I've attached a photo of the incision, be forwarned, it isn't pretty.

Lastly, if you're a prayer sayer or good thought thinker please take a minute and send something out to the donor and his/her family. All donors for that matter, they're sacrafice will allow me and thousands of others a second chance. If you're not a donor, please consider it, you can't take it with you.

Blessed,

Liver Serum Man

  2. Man, I am SO happy for you! I hate to say it, but such a long silence didn't seem to bode well, so I was very happy to see your latest update.

    Glad the operation went well. Twenty days in the hospital, must have been pretty brutal. Glad you're out and feeling better.

    It's nice to reflect on the donor, must be a rather strange experience to receive such a gift from someone who has passed.

  4. I hope you're still doing well. I had a friend who had a liver transplant and it took him quite awhile to recover. I found your blog by googling "Lactulose and farting". What can I say?

    Thanks for sharing the picture of your incision. I don't know that I will ever opt for a transplant. Just trying to talk myself into treatment right now.

    I hope all is well!
