I am a bad ass, I will keep fighting and surviving!

Good morning Peeps,

I saw my GP this morning, my weekly check-in [YES! I said weekly] We check my vitals, make a note that I lost another 3 pounds since the week before. We discussed what the signs of liver failure are so I know when I need to go to the Emergency Room at the hospital [which is literally 4 minutes away from my front door] We discussed talking to offspring and siblings, we discussed that I am probably not a candidate for a partial liver from a living donor due to my BMI [body mass index] so I will have to go on the transplant list for a full liver. And the wait can take years until I either get sick enough to move up on the list OR a perfect match to me presents itself. This is quickly becoming scary as hell. And I would rather not have to go through any of it because it just isn't fair, I get EVERYTHING in my gene pool, good and bad. I have diabetes, none of my 6 siblings have it. I have had cancer, none of my siblings have, I got the good hair gene but I also got the 50 extra pounds gene. And like the header says, I am a bad ass. I am from New England, from Massachusetts. We don't take cr*p from anybody. Other parts of the country even coined us a name, we are MASSHOLES. It's so true.

I truly do love this group. You are all so wonderful to let me vent and then laugh at myself. I (we) will get through this and no matter the end result.

Sha I so admire your spirit and attitude in the face of your troubles, makes me feel so silly getting worked up about my little trials and tribulations. You are a SUPER BADASS, there's no doubt. Genes can be a blessing and a curse and I am so sorry you're getting all the bad stuff as well as the good. I am praying and wishing you get the help you need but in the meantime we are here for you hun. Take care my lovely and keep fighting xxx

Keep up that fighting spirit Sha! What a great attitude to have. Your strength is really admirable and I really do hope that everything goes well for you.

It stinks that you got all the bad genes, but I mean, the good hair gene is an upside at least 😁

The best of wishes to you Sha, and the best of luck doll

Ah bless you, you certainly got enough going on, my aunt had complete liver failure and was so ill, luckily they found a liver and since the transplant she is doing brilliantly, she looked so yellow even her eyes, we never thought she was going to get through it, but thank god she has and to look at her now you would never think she'd been so ill, I truly hope for the same for yourself, sending love and wishes xx

Hi Sha my mum used to always say to me that God only gives out what you can handle, if I think about it I have been through many things and thought maybe thats enough but we either have a nature when whatever comes your way you get up and dust yourself off when others would crumble, positve attitude is what gets you through in my book Ive alway been a believer in Que Sara sara and whats for you never goes past you, you are going through a lot just now and I admire your spirit you will get there take care 🌻X
