Today I had a follow-up doctor appointment with my overly stylish, equally as intelligent with a splash of a sarcastic, sense of humor Hepatologist. I guess I choose my doctors the same way I choose my friends. Anyway, my follow-up went pretty well, I'm still a little jaundice (especially in my eyes...that would be that yellow glow) but my abdomen isn't distended (thank goodness I couldn't take that odd body shape) and my energy level has increased. I don't think I'm ready to run any lapses around a track but I might be able to stay awake a little longer than 2.5 hours. My blood work results (remember my post Stuck on Mondays) are improving too. So your girl is pretty happy. No tears (well minimum) were shed today. I'll check back in the office in a month but remember I'm kind of a big deal so my doctor will check in on me.

After the doctor appointment, I was starving (anybody that knows me understands when I reach starving the mood shifts instantly) so off to Maggiano's we (me and my chauffeur-which btw I couldn't ask for a better one) went to grab a small bite to eat. That small bite turned into two entrees, an appetizer and a dessert and some random Indie artist singing live. One thing this disease hasn't done is change my love for food, it might slow down my appetite but it picks right back up like it never left. After a quick stop to a store we were on our way home. I don't remember the ride because my exhaustion kicked in and I was knocked out for the count.

I will say I never know which way my doctor meetings are going to go or where my emotions will land but today was a GOOD DAY. I got out the house, had a good appointment and ate some good food. I guess you never know what to expect out of your day when you wake up. At this point in my life I just hope and pray for the best and keeping an open, positive mindset definitely helps! Relish in the positive because staying in the negative is way too draining!

Night All!
