living after liver failure

[Guest guest]

hello my name is jerry,i am 38 years old.i've posted on this site

only once because i'm not good at this.i had severe hepatic(did i say

any of that right?) liver/kidney failure about a year and a half

ago.i was not supposed to live through the night.first it was the

liver that shut down then the kidneys.i had about 3-6 months in and

out of the hospital and icu with everything,they told me i lived

through pneumonia,mersa,a couple of operations because of

infections.i had to have a cyst cut and drained on my thigh that was

about the size of a baseball,and they couldn't pack it or stitch it

because i had basically no immune system,it took about a year to heal

and it still hurts sometimes.i don't really remember alot of about 6

mnths of my life and that really plays with my head.so...on easter

sunday 2009 it will be 2 years.since then i have been diagnosed with

osteonecrosis from all the steroids they had to keep me on.my

girlfriend at the time left me while i was in the hospital(she

couldn't take it)i live alone with my 2 cats who have kept me going

and smiling everyday(i love them more than words can say)but i have

so many questions and i'm always alone so i have no one.i read and

read but there are no answers,just info.i am a survivor and still

have liver failure symptoms(fatigue all the time yet insomniac at

times,and my body hurts all over sometimes)but i am as close to being

back to normal as i think i am going to get.i can walk pretty well

now, from wheelchair then walker and therapy,i am walking and i can

get up off the floor by myself now(which is cool as hell!)do i think

about work? because i've been on my own since i was 14 and all i knew

how to do is work and drink.now i can't do either. confused and alone

with no one to bounce questions off of
