Hello everyone my step children took over my p.c,so I havent posted

for a minute.As I lay awake with my everynight insomnia,I think of

all sorts of things to ask certain people and then I get mixed up on

who has dealt with " this & that " and then forget details of " who is

who " ...first off the list,Bobby,somehow I had the impresion you to

were waiting on a transplant.I was reading your posts on pain meds.I

have been wanting to maybe ask some personal questions about

Ardis,you told me that she wasnt recomended for a transplant from the

team,because if I can recall they said she needed a better support

system? hmm... maybe I'm wrong,but it has had me thinking overtime if

thats possible.I havent been to the Cleveland Clinic yet,they are

dragging there feet,Abijann told me to light a fire under there ass's

not in those particular words,but I figure i would rather wait till

after the holidays anyways there is a story in A.A. about a

transplant patient,she said she had to see a psychiatrist first

also,O.K.Now here is where the big bad story started.....Had a shrink,

(depressed alcoholic),was presribed anti-depressents (never worked

and have tried them all)had some blood work done ,found out i had

HepC,my infectious disease dr. told me i couldnt take the interfuron

because it could cause me to committ suicide-long story short,I quit

taking anti-depressents,and started drinking again on and off until

last May when I almost died.So now I'm going to my meetings,I have

found me another psychiatrist,and i am doing everything in my power

to be accepted but,now I'm worried about support,I have it but will

they agree???I am the busy body caregiver in this family.I have been

taking care of his fateher for 10 yrs of Alzheimers,my mom is on

oxygen (at her house)my dad has diabetes,my sister is 37 and still

with us with down syndrom,a baby sister 31 whom still suffers from a

crack addiction and just lost her baby 2 days ago,did I mention the

partrich in a pear tree LOL!Ive got to much here going on to be able

to do that too.As far as the transplant team I want to be as honest

with them as possible and i know everyone will survive if i do get a

transplant,my boyfriend Bob (of 12 yrs)handled things so,so,when i

was in I.C.u. in May and it took close to 4 months before I was of

any help to anyone,hey! and noone died:)Oh and last but not least,I

too have genotype 1a HepC I didnt know that it was the hardest to

treat,wich leads me to a new slew of questions....would they try

treatment first? I heard it can ruin my new liver quicker than this

one.I'm so glad to have all of you,have no fear wendy will

appear,with new questions. Love all of you! HI ELSIE:) god

bless,
