Unofficial, official liver results...

Well I finally heard from the liver biopsy. Mind you, I was and still have to phone the liver specialist to get the official results. Yeah I know, they said 2-3 weeks, but I'm sure a month is better. Right? Ok fine...

Any hoos, the lady from the liver study I'm in, phoned and gave me the unofficial results. Well they're official (but she just had a little sample) and I'm sure my specialist got more results, but whatever, that's not the point.

The results were not horrible, not great, but not like i'm on death watch or something. Suffice it to say, I'm not clear and free.

Turns out my liver enzymes are still elevated (almost double the normal), but at least out of a possible grade of 3, the inflammation and scarring/fibrosis both received zero. Yay for that, right?

Bad news, (c'mon you knew that was coming)..

Apparently out of a grade of 3, the fat grade was....

....yup you guessed it a big 'ol 3. Gosh darn liver. Ah, well. I'm young, and the liver is cooping....for now. The problem is more of when the liver is unable to cope with the fatty deposits. Right now it's replacing them and everything, but who knows how long will last. It's not like tomorrow it will stop coping or anything, but still in 10-20 years, we don't know how well it will be there.

Ah well that's life. With all these lemons, it's about time i made some good ol' lemonade. The results could have been a million times worse, so these results aren't bad at all. Luckily the fat is not causing inflammation or scarring, so there is somethning to be very thankful for.


So now let's talk of the weather. Is it me or was today just horrible. Both Karen and I were dying at work by the end of the day. It was so bad we were actually going outside just so that we could come back in to feel the air conditioning (we were convinced that it was was not working). I wasn't as crappy feeling as Karen, but I was still pretty gross feeling. Really flushed by the end. I even left a few minutes early (like 10, woo i'm such a rebel).

Just stupid weather lately. Hopefully it will be nice on saturday seeing how we plan on going to the beach. *fingers crossed* Luckily the past few years, I haven't had bad luck with going, so let's hope it continues that way.

Any ways, i shall be on my way. Unforunately I do plan on phoning the liver specialist tomorrow for the official results, so we'll see how that goes. Just want I want to do on a Friday before the weekend...Yuck!

Later days...
