Well, I went to the doctor for the first time since being sprung from the hospital yesterday. I should have gone sooner, but a.) I’m a coward and b.) I’m a coward.
My blood pressure was “high” (150/90, which I can’t consider high when I was walking around the hospital with 250/160 and they kept me in bed to make sure I didn’t have a stroke, but the doctor says is too high for “someone as little as you.”) My liver was also still enlarged and really tender (I almost hit the ceiling when he poked it.)
So I’ll stay on blood pressure meds and have more bloodwork, but honestly, I feel pretty ok, I have certainly felt worse. I haven’t missed a day of work, and all things considered, I feel pretty damn decent and mentally good most days. I just wanted to keep up with the doctor because I had not one single symptom of liver problems even in complete failure that was noticeable- no yellowing skin or eyes, no pain, nothing at all-even when I was first on the transplant list. It was only detectable in the blood work that everything was off the charts.
I just don’t wan’t my liver falling out at my desk or anything.
Honestly, though, I feel good about where I am, myself, life in general, better than I have in quite awhile. Just wanted to let y’all know and say hi tumblr people!
All is well. And it’s FRIDAY!
xoxox.

Are you still on the transplant list? I’m glad that you feel ok, but I’m even more glad you went to the doctor anyway. Hope the bp meds help. <3
