I found out Tuesday that my MELD score remains 18. My doctor has upped my coumadin dosage again, in another attempt to bring my score a bit up. I spoke to the transplant coordinator at the Big City Hospital to get my score, and during the conversation she indicated that she felt it was important…
It’s bitterly cold out there. I think I may be in a state of major brain freeze. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be a positive thing, but considering some of the dumb stuff I’ve been doing recently, brain freeze just might be the best thing that could happen to me at the moment. It isn’t supposed to…
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 Subject: 20th of January I think that’s a wonderful way of dealing with the situation, Sal! And I don’t know that this comment is exciting enough to add to an entry. I just wanted to offer kudos to you on not letting the comment-disabling impact you. “MoonriddenGirl.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: Mon,…
The blood oranges have again appeared at my grocery store. This is nearly a month earlier than their first appearance last year, and I dare to hope that this means that this year’s season will be longer.

So much to do, so little time. Why do I let myself get backed up this way? Tonight I need to do several loads of laundry, go grocery shopping, sterilize a couple of bathrooms, and do a general clean up of the apartment. I have some mail on the stairs waiting to be attended to,…

Well, first off Dr. Liver gave me a scolding for not coming in sooner. When I told him that I was trying to time the paracentesis so that I could get my monthly bloodwork drawn at the same time and not miss any extra time at work, he made a huge deal of telling me…
Still not sleeping well – this is starting to get really old fast. I had better luck on the sofa than in bed though, as it’s easier for me to prop myself up to relieve some of the distension. Thirty-six hours until I get tapped. Not that I’m counting the minutes or anything. Saw Two…
I didn’t sleep again last night. It has become impossible to lie down and get comfortable. As much as I hated to, I called in sick this morning and took the day off. I wouldn’t have been safe behind the wheel, much less working around the animals at my job. Since I’d already arranged to…
