Did research tonight about living donor transplants

Yesterday was Mom’s liver “specialist” appt.  They didn’t tell her anything new.  All she got from this appt which we’ve been waiting for since what? ahh since Father’s Day was… “You have 3 things going on at once. First you have your liver, Second you have the ascites (fluid in the belly) and Third you have the cyst (cancerous or non cancerous) that’s floating around in you uterus”.

“I can’t tell you anything yet until we get blood test and have you see a gynecologist”

ummmm… DIDN’T we already do this???? what’s the point of all those appointments before hand?  just for fun?!  These fucking people… SMH

Her next appointment with the liver “specialist” is the end of November.  Can you believe that shit?  Anyways, I’m over all this medical bullshit.  My only sanity is knowing that her liver can’t be THAT bad since they are taking forever!!! to treat her!!!

I’ve also come to the conclusion that I will be a living donor for her if she needs a liver.  I’m the exact same blood type as she is and I’m relatively healthy.  I could lose a couple … dozen lbs… but other than that I’m in good health and a good candidate.  I will definitely give a piece of my liver to my mom.  I haven’t told her yet.  I’ll tell her tomorrow.  She doesn’t have to worry about that damn donor list if I can do it myself. *crosses arms* hmph
