Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hi and everyone It's kinda' long again... so I'm warning you beforehand. Thanks for your kind words. I really don't feel like I'm enduring more than anyone else, though. I mean, heck, everything I wished and hoped for as a young man has come true, almost.... I really did want a companion that would stick by me and understand my stupidity as well as my intelligence, and just kind of already know how I was feeling by the way I walked or whatever... (I think I'm getting water retention in the brain, cause I sure am gettin' squishy, like my body does!) hahaha... But...anyway, I always wanted to be like this one guy that came into the restaurant/bar everyday, where I was a busboy. He drank and talked to the girls all day and dressed nice and tipped well so all the pretty bargirls loved him and he just seemed to have it made! Well, I got what I wanted later in life with an unlimited, (basically)unquestioned expense account, and it was even OK if I showed up at work drunk, which I normally was...As long as my accounts were happy, then my bosses boss and so on was happy. ...and trust me... I kept 'em happy with trips all over, limos, hunting trips/marlin fishing off CABO and expensive booze and wine,. Well, I got what I wanted, but the price has proven to have been too high for me. I always wanted to retire and quit working by 55. I MADE IT!!!!! haha... So anyway, it's time to take charge of myself and not let doctors that mean well, but sometimes seem to speak out of both sides of their mouths, hold my life in their hands, because they need more X's in the win column so there will be more funding. WOW...that's negative....sorry. But my old surgeon actually said that to me. Probably one of the most honest doctors I know. Baylor let him go. What I'm about to say may seem rude, but I don't mean it to be, yet I want to mention it. It's just plain fact. My "old" surgeon is now gone. The new one (and I don't know WHY I feel this way, because I'm now basically like her!! but... I'm sick) has a life threatening obesity problem (X's 2) and a very poor complection. I know I'm old now, but how old does one need to be when they can start cutting out old livers and putting in new ones? I asked what her experience was to one of the nurses and she replied the head surgeon always accompanies the newer people. I know they have to learn, but would they do this with Kieth s, or Mickey Mantle, or any of the other celebs that the "list" doesn't pertain to?? I don't think so. My money is as green as theirs and I'm covered for up to 5 million dollars!! Thats not an error,. Five million dollars for the liver transplant and related stuff in general. Why am I getting the trainee???? Let that Larry Hagman and his Mother take the headlines saying that they opted for a rookie surgeon in training because they understand they have to learn!! Let America fall in love with them....not me. Plus, she charged me $100.00 to introduce herself! I am not paying for that. NO way!! Now I truly am bitchin and I'll stop. I will try to cut these down to size, DelDavies1988 <Davies1988@...> wrote: Good Morning All, I know it's not that early, however, I was up all night the night before with Grandson, and you all know with hep - it takes us some time to catch up. I woke up this am after sleeping 12 hours, flew out of bed like I missed something, or was late for work, it was actually pretty comical... LOL KIM, I well be praying for everything to come through for you so that you may start the treatment. You will have to forgive me as I don't know much about your history as I haven't been around much lately, so if you don't mind if you could fill me in some time. I am Gen 1A, stage 1 grade 3, this is my second round of TX as the first time, I had to quit at 16 weeks, lost insurance due to move. I remember being as motivated as you, and I promise, I will get there, it's just second round is not much fun, but I want to say in the same breath, I am grateful that I am able to do it again. I will definetly be here for Kim, there will be days, were my moods will fall, as your's might too, but I will always be back. Maybe we can exchange phone #'s - you let me know how things progress for you. Okay. I look forward to getting to know you no matter what the outcome. Also KIM - De and Pat are really awsome support and remember they both have endured the year of treatment pretty recently, and neither of them mind questions, as that is what they are here for... I love ya both... Del, Sweetie, I highly doubt that you are going to find anyone here that is going to be angry with you. Even though most of us have not been in your exact shoes, we want to understand and help in some way if we can... I can only imagine the emotions you must endure on a daily basis, which makes me feel bad for my complaining, ( which lately I have done allot of ). You give me courage, strength, and willpower to move forward and be stronger.. I see what you have endured, and mine seems so petty.. You have the right to as many feelings and emotions as you want, and even though we may not know exactly what you are feeling - remember - we want to understand and help if we can!!! Okay. Well Gang, I am off to help my daughter make homemade sause for her enchilada's.. Be back later this afternoon... Del send me you number if you want me to call... Okay.. Love you all... May God Bless you all and yours Letter ©Chezmf Graphics by Chezmf See the all-new, redesigned .com. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
