Puzzles, Cousins and Convo's....

by Monique Crenshaw


Today was a pretty good day! I woke up and did my daily routine: breakfast (this time mini pancakes and eggs with some blackberries on the side) and took my meds. This time I didn't take my standard nap afterwards because I had a nice surprise visitor! 

My cousin, Larry came over and we talked and laughed, he also helped me put together this 1000 piece Butterfly puzzle I'm working on (hey I have to keep myself) and we continued to laugh and talk for the next couple of hours. I'm usually not up for much company but today it was great because he always makes me laugh. On top of my cousin coming to visit me I found out that my LFT's (liver function tests) look a little better and the yellow in my eyes is continuously getting lighter and lighter.  So yes, today was a pretty good day! 

In a perfect world I would receive my phone call telling me a liver was waiting for me but that's not my world right now. Instead, I get reassurance from my doctors, family and friends that one day that will be my perfect world. I will be able to get back to traveling, shopping sprees, spending time with my loved ones and work. Yes, I said work when you haven't been since January you start to miss your routine. For now, I guess I will just live my life as it is right now.
