Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...a disease of the Liver!

Sheesh, I could've saved a lot of time and money just by having watched some SNL reruns ! I haven't updated my blog for awhile, in part it's because I've been busy, and when I'm not busy, I've been feeling kind of "blicky" (as my dear friend, Dr. Meg and I use the word combined from "blah" and "icky"). In part, though, I just haven't wanted to broadcast my official diagnosis onto the internet. Soooo, the good news is that the doctors have located the problems (there are 2), and I am happy to report that after the "yucky" part of my liver is removed, the healthy liver will regenerate and grow a newer, healthier version of itself. Also, there was something up with my pancreas that is going to have to be fixed, and once all that is done, I should be as good as new...no more nausea, pain, elevated liver function tests, etc... My doc is well aware of my opiate dependency and we are going into this with eyes wide open. A plan to be on meds for the duration of my hospital stay and a taper plan upon discharge. I feel pretty good about things.

In other news, my dear old dad...aka Big Wave Dave as I lovingly refer to him, approached me about coming to work for him in his Public Relations company. After a lot of thought, I accepted the offer. It will be an awesome opportunity to get away from myself and focus on the involvement around my community. My official title is "Project Coordinator" I really wanted to be the "Chief Operating Officer", but he said, "No..." :)

I have TONS more that I want to blog about, but Oy Vey, I'm a tired girl tonight!
