Currently in Distress

[Happy Poo]

Hi Evan, I just wanted to send you my love, support and prayers. You're going through so much and still continue to share, post and stay positive I think that's amazing.
I've no idea wether this will be helpful to you not but I've been researching a herb called Sarasparilla due to a health condition I've got and some meds I'm taking. I've been making a tea out of it, a couple of teaspoons spoons brewed in the morning and evening.. Don't know if this is a correct dose but most sites I've visited say a couple of teaspoons is okay to make a pot of tea. Apparently it has liver protective/restorative properties amongst other benefits. . Other things I found out that can help liver so far are Olive oil, betaine - the pink stuff in raddish and beetroot, and black cumin seed oil. And turmeric, I make a hot drink out of it with around 3 teaspoons, olive oil and black pepper. Black cumin seed oil is good for liver too apparently. Thought it worth a mention anyway. Would also like to say how much I appreciate you, reading your posts for so long

Hey Evan! Just checking in to see how are things with you. Haven't seen you in a while. I hope it's because you found better hobbies and nothing health-related.

Ditto to that! Are you okay?

Thanks for checking in with me! I’ve been here, but I suppose I’ve been pretty quiet. I’ve read the latest session (just phenomenal!), and have kept up with the current threads, yet overall I’ve not had much to say, other than I’m definitely here!

Everything is fine at home. Wendy and I are good. The biggest thing going on has been the process of getting on the transplant list. My hepatologist has set my MELD score at 15, but there are a multitude of other factors that are taken into consideration. Primary among them is a stable home situation for after care. Then there’re tests of all of my other functions (pulmonary, circulatory, etc), before actually getting my name on it. But I’ve already undergone the intake process at the hospital, and I have a transplant coordinator who’s just waiting on insurance approval. So it’s hurry up and wait for now.

I do owe so much to you all here for staying with me through all of this. You’re really a guiding light.

It's great to hear from you and the news are hopeful! Also very nice to read that things at home with Wendy are good.
Did you ever send us your application to join FOTCM? Just wondering, in case you sent it and we didn't receive it.

Amidst all of the mess of things going on, I completely forgot about the message Alana sent me. I just revisited the past DMs that were no longer visible in my inbox and I will get it printed out ASAP. Thank you Chu for reminding me!
