“Mad Matty: "Have I gone mad?" Alice: ... - British Liver Trust
“Mad Matty: "Have I gone mad?" Alice: "I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”
"But I don,t want to go among mad people" Akice remarked. "oh you can,t help that" Said the cat. "we,re all mad here, I,m mad, you,re mad". "how do you know I,m mad?" Said Alice. "you must be " Said the cat. "or you wouldn,t have come here". Lewis Carol.
best of luck to you Matt. Always put a smile on my face. Hugs
Good luck Matt. You should definitely ask about transplant. But it's important to know that there are criteria that have to be fulfilled before you'll be put on the list. Sometimes it feels like a tightrope of being ill enough but not too ill that you're unlikely to survive.
I feel your pain, I had KNOWN cirrhosis from 27 and got a transplant at 42. Years of feeling ill, tired, even depressed. Sometimes I think the best thing that happened to me was a sudden deterioration that almost cost me my life if it wasn't for transplant.
hi Rodeojoe ,,thanks for your words and story very kind of you ,,yes i know the criteria involved etc ,,ive been put straight already by a poster on here i forget her name but shes not far off getting a TX ,,,,,im sewing the mental seed to my Hepatologist ,,just to keep on-top of things im fine im happy ,,ill keep doing what i do ,,,,,it was he who mentioned a TX to me this is the first ive said anything 7mnths down the line ,,good luck with your health PMA as always cheers Matthew
PMA absolutely my friend. I didn't do pre transplant very well. In fact I can now see I was in complete denial of the fact I was ill. I treated the six monthly consultant appointments as an inconvenience that just stressed me out.
"...and all that was left was a grin!" 
hey Matt. How you getting on with everything. ❤ n hugs xx

GM Matt. It's stopped raining ☔ for now. Just dropped my middle child at work. Pick her up in around 12hrs time. I've not long been off thiamine myself was on it off it. With my meds they mess that much it does my head in. Today i plan to do. Not much. Lol catch up on some TV. Facebook as well. Im on there if you wanna add me id love to read your blogs. Im Sheridan jellytot alcock. Pls don't laugh 😂😂. So you live alone? I may as well do. My kids are older so they treat the place as an hotel. Might change the locks 😁. I tend to actually live in my room. Bad habit from being sick but i have everything there. It's comfortable if you get me.pls let me know how you get on at docs. Thinking about you. ❤ n hugs sheri xxx
