Down

Feeling kind of down. I am a 2x relapser with cirrhosis. Now, I find out I have steatosis. Losing weight is damn hard. When I think of what is coming (again), and the fact that I can't get a hold of alinia, or get my doc to ok double dosing, I wonder if it's worth it. I mean i don't feel my odds are very good for SVR. I have lately been thinking that maybe it's just the way it is, why NOT me?  Thinking about dying and trying to come to terms with it. Not angry anymore....just starting to accept that maybe I am just supposed to go. Thinking about how long I can last. Spirituality too.  I know some of you must have felt this way... I am not a quiter, but, well some of us just can't win no matter what it seems. Not even looking for advice really, I just can't say what i am feeling to my family as they will not understand.

YOU!!!!!!  With seamstress aspirations!!!!!

Somehow, 4c, though we're forum pals, I just can't envision you as a tailor!  *lol*

And what's even funnier is the thought of you crying about letting go of your sewing aspirations.  But then, that character from Silence of the Lambs flashes through my mind!  hahahahaha.

Well, I'm glad I filled out some of that paperwork, even though I currently don't know where it is, just for the flock's sake.

BTW - YOU a DRAMA queen?????  I never would have guessed.  :))))

HA HA HA HA! swear, sometimes when I try to sew I think of that guy, Buffalo Bill...."It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!!!!" "Yes, it will, Precious, won't it? It will get the hose!" HA HA HA! That voice, ewwwwww! And when he puts those pasties on and poses in front of the mirror!, ewwwwww! Other people focus on the obvious characters in that film, you and I focus on Buffalo Bill, he he he he....

yeah, pulled my covers again, I always wanted to sew, ever since I got a "D" in Home Ec cause I could barely make a gym bag...it's kind of a joke...I went out and bought a nice White Sewing Machine, and a Serger, never used that one at all...I always admire people who can do something with their hands (shut up Goof), get this, I even want to learn carpentry! maybe someday! Quit laughing, I see you!!!!!

never told you this story...there is a really nice plant store not far from here, Mickey Hargitay's Plant Store  (he used to married to Jane Mansfield, for anyone that even cares, ha ha!) Anyway, he's past now and his son runs it now, and loves Parrots as much as Mikey did.

He has a giant parrot that used to belong to Mikey (you would know more then I what kind it is) that greeted everybody in the plant store, and had the run of the place, it is such a beautiful bird, and relatively old and kind.

Well, this idiot stole the parrot, and the whole neighborhood was really upset, and these animal rescue women I know got on the case. They got a tip that a neighbor had a parrot in their back yard that matched the description....well, they went over there with a telescope and did a recon mission looking through the trees.....sure enough, it was this guy who got it for his family, only a mile away...(these creeps don't know we have posses for this type of thing)

I went with the posse and this really balsey woman that I call Dog Woman, an Australian writer by profession, went up to his door and demanded that he give the parrot back, or we'd have every cop in the city there in 10 minutes. He gave it back. Now Mickey is back in the store, and stays next to the cash register where he can be more closely watched, he chose to do this on his own btw. Be well kiddo.

I made my Living Will, Advanced Directive, Surrogate Health Care Person and Durable Power of Attorney!!   I wanted to have it all in place, not because of just the Hep C, but mostly because of my son.  He's not in any kind ability to make decisions of that sort, yuh know?  My parents are getting older and I figured that if I had my decisions already spelled out on paper, that it would make it easier for anybody-if the worst happened--I mean other things could happen-accidents-heart attack, etc., etc.   For me, it's not about me having a lot of wordly goods to pass along-I don't-it's more about if I ended up like Terri Schiable or Karen Ann Quinlan, or something like that.  I just wouldn't want to be kept alive on machines-my choice and I wanted that spelled out.
