Hi, my name is Bob . I was hospitalized Fri, 01/20/12 because of a 18000+

white count and severe rebound tenderness to my gallbladder. Several gall stones

were discovered last week in my semiannual sonogram. My hepatologist admitted me

to the hospital that day and started me on a course of iv antibiotic that lasted

3 days before the white count dropped to normal. I had also developed shaking in

my hands to the point I could no longer write and have had a heck of a time

typing on this keyboard. A cbc was done and my hemaglobin was 8.5. I have

chronic anemia and have had 16 iron infusions. I've had several falls recently.

I got a cane to help with my unsteadyness.

My wife spoke to my hematologist and asked her what my prognosis is. The doc

said that due to my heart problems (double bypass) and the ongoing anemia plus

my age (63), I was not a good candidate for a transplant. I've been seeing the

transplant group since early 2006. I was told because the damage to my liver,

that if I required anesthesia, that I would not wake up. Therefore, They would

not allow any surgery. Sounds like a death sentence to me. Apparently, I have

been diagnosed with Parkinson's and got a Rx upon discharge Sunday that will

treat the Parkinson's.

I apologize for venting. I had to tell someone who knows what I'm going through.

I don't drink or do drugs and I don't have any tattoos. My dx is cryptogenic

cirrhosis which of course means they have no idea what caused the cirrhosis.

I'll shut up now.
