{..::Topic::..}: My liver has exploding power....ka-pow!

Yesterday was the infamous liver specialist day. Six months of waiting for the appointment, but it was the right thing to do. Unforunately, it will another year before I am able to see him again. Actually I have to go back in 6 months for a little check-up and more blood work. Surprisingly the 5 vials (varying in size) wasn't enough, lol. The lab worker asked me if I were a regular as a result, it was funny, I assure you. On the yay side of things, the appointment revealed I actually have a medical condition and that it's not nothing, so yay. I was diagnosted with Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Long name, but at least I have a name for it. On the boo side I have to lose 20lbs in 6 months or I'll have to go for a liver biopsy and more testing. That's almost a pound a week, yikes. Hopefully I can do it, cause I really don't really want to do the biopsy or take tons of medication. On another good note, I get to finally see a dietitcian. Luckily it's on the day I work evenings, so I don't have to miss more school. Any ways, that's how the appointment went. Didn't really calm me down, but at least I don't have to think of it as a waste of my time or being nothing. Too bad it's been a year in the making. Actually I've always had a fatty liver but no one really investigated it until now. Very unforuante. Although there is so much more to say, I'm too tired and exhausted to get into all of it. I'd be here a long time typing everything out from yesterday and thinking of it bums me out so suffice to say this is all for now. Oh well, just another hurdle in my life. Just remember when life give you lemons, you gotta make lemonade. *wink, wink* .... And yes I am crazy.

Another yay, I finally have my treadmill. I actually used it tonight and I did roughly 1.5 miles of walking tonight, which is really good because I feel so sick and so dizzy. But nevertheless, no more skinny-minny teens walking around the gym looking at you with a glare or having to listen similiar type girls/women complaining that they need to lose so much weight. Those people are so nuts. Damn you Hollywood and your extremely underweight inhabitants. I curse you!! Seriously they need more women that look healthy, rather than these people who are extremely underweight and think they are huge. That's is just wrong and sending the wrong message out to young girls. It's just scary. It's good to be healthy, go out and have a healthy weight people. Being underweight can be just as detrimental as being overweight. Ok I'll be stepping off my soapbox right now.

Any ways, I'm spent so I'm going to do some study.... really I will....reaalllly...
