February 21st, 20068.8, but…
Well my blood test results came in and I’m at an 8.8. Eh. We thought I’d be at a 4 by now. I can deal with an 8.
But… my ALT and AST (liver enzymes that say how healthy your liver is) are elevated again and my albumin (which says how much protein/food/bacon I’m getting) has dropped again. Bugger.
I’m less itchy and I’m off all the meds that made me wacky (like forgetting entire days I’ve lived in the past two months), and I’m really hoping that everything drops back to normal by next week.
Or they might make me get a liver biopsy. Argh.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m pleased to read that you’re slowly recovering. There’s an old addage about “slow and sure wins the race”. Or something.
Gute Besserung and all that!

8 is better than 30.
A liver biopsy is easy. Just don’t go deep sea fishing afterwards.
Learned the hard way on that one.

Ms Mac… thank you 🙂
G.. I know, you’re right. And I don’t go deep sea fishing at all. I have issues with boats and sea sickness. Ick.
