Hello, I'm new and have no idea how to start this without sounding negative.
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 4 years ago (I'm 32) I'm sober for over a year and a half now.
I've been from recompensed to looking at a liver transplant assessment which I got declined from as I was too well and had to give it more time for my precious liver to heal so now im compensated and my last letter from Leeds said they are hopeful ill live my life without a transplant that's floored me to tears how remarkable the liver is.
My partner took his life earlier this year as I'm still sober and haven't even thought about drinking I still can't help but feel how could I ever date again in the future (not now) knowing I have cirrhosis and no idea of my life span, would I be a waste of time for them?
On a positive I have just completed raising money for this amazing charity and may I add I'm not jaundiced just over did it with the fake tan for summer to feel good
I'm sorry for the mixed post, a lot of crying, shaking, anxity but smiles won't into this post ... I hope it is understood.
Wishing you all health and happiness
