My scar makes me feel empowered now. If I can live through this, I can live through anything.

Finally got my biopsy scheduled for the 19th of July, so I’ll finally know for sure if I have liver cancer or not. I’m not looking forward to the procedure or having to wait three hours at the hospital but what can you do? Good thoughts/vibes are appreciated 💕

Tuesday me decided that Wednesday me was going to do paperwork stuff and post things.

Wednesday me was fatigued to fuck and paralysed unable to move on with anything like eating or stuff because of the demand avoidance stress of having this thing I had to do.

Then Wednesday me remembered that actually it could fucking wait. So then I felt better and ate stuff and adulted a bit in other ways. I also did a lot of laying on the sofa too.

So today me is going to post the thing and get coconut barista style milk and pasta for tea. Also today me rocks because I went into the hospital and had appointments and stuff. So today me gets a wispa too.

Saturated fats are primarily animal-based fats (with the exception of some plants). Unlike healthy unsaturated fats that are liquid at room temperature, saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Saturated fats are the inflammatory fats, while unsaturated fats are anti-inflammatory. Regularly consuming saturated fats may raise cholesterol and increase risk of heart disease. It can also contribute to high blood sugar and fatty liver disease. If you consume it, it is recommended you do not exceed 13 grams/day. Lean towards your anti-inflammatory and brain health fats, the unsaturated fats.

This is my cousin. She's currently waiting for a liver transplant due to liver infection. She was previously in a medically-induced coma because she was in septic shock.

If you can, could you please donate to the GoFundMe account set up by her sister to assist with both the transplant and postoperative medical costs. It doesn't have to be a lot. If you can't then words of encouragement would be fine

Normally, I don't ask people for money, but I can't lose my cousin. She's like a sister to me. I will post a link below. Thank you for your time.

A Different Death

Liver diseases are a significant health concern, with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) estimated to affect around 30% of the global population, across multiple conditions associated with excess fat deposits. Necroptosis, a type of programmed cell death that activates the immune system and causes inflammation, was thought to be generally involved in liver disease, but recent evidence refutes this idea. In mice, disease triggers like viral infection, malarial parasites or high-fat diets still lead to liver disease, progressing as expected, even when the mice lack MLKL, a protein necessary for necroptosis; in the liver tissue pictured, collagen build-up (in red) reveals signs of NAFLD, without necroptosis. Scientists also found that another protein required for necroptosis, RIPK3, is silenced in the liver cells, of both mice and humans, suggesting this process cannot occur there. Together, these findings should shift the focus of research into the mechanisms behind liver disease.

So I probably definitely have liver disease bc I just found out the liver doesn't heal at all even with minimal drinking without regular periods of abstinence, would have been nice to know a few years ago but I think the damage has been done

How Much Does Liver Transplant Costs in India?

The liver is our body's second-largest organ. It aids digestion by breaking down all of the nutrients in food and can withstand a lot of stress and abuse, but it can only go so far before getting into a stage of severe liver disease or cirrhosis. In recent times, the increase in demand for liver transplants has increased. If you are on this page, then you might be thinking of getting a liver transfer. Here we have discussed the procedure of getting a liver transfer along with liver transplant costs in India and many more.

What is a liver transplant?

A liver transplant is a procedure in which a diseased or unhealthy liver is replaced with one from a living or deceased donor. When a person has ESLD (End-Stage Liver Disease), a liver transplant is a last resort effort to save a dying patient's life. continue reading

In other non MK related news my mental health is really in the shitter today. I know most people who see this won’t care but I use tumblr as an outlet for my emotions. I’m really reeling from my hepatology appointment yesterday, I’ve known my kidneys were bad for a while because tacrolimus is a horrible, wicked, two-sided drug, on the one hand it keeps my body from destroying my heart but on the other hand it ruins my kidneys but I had no clue anything was wrong with my liver. The doctor said living with my childhood condition of left ventricular failure for 14 years caused irreversible liver damage. I just, I don’t know what to do. I just want to cry but for some reason I can’t. I’ve always known I was living on borrowed time ever since my heart transplant but now with having so many issues with so many vital organs it seems like my time is running out sooner than I expected. I guess 25 years was a good run but it seems so fucking ironic and unfair that I finally don’t want to die and I will. I get the feeling my celebration trip I planned for later this year will probably be my final vacation, so I guess I better try and enjoy it as much as I can. I’m not necessarily sad for myself but Denny won’t understand why I’m gone and that really breaks my heart. He’s such a good boy and I love him so much I don’t want to do anything that will make him sad. At least I’ll get to be reunited with Jäger if anything in life is even remotely fair.

Here's a thing Ive often struggled with. Sitting in the evening and watching TV, relaxing and just being.

In the wake of domestic violence I couldn't just relax. CPTSD saw to that. I spent many evenings avoiding the sofa, the place where I slept with a knife under my pillow.

That changed. Both my self (through therapy) and the sofa (I bought a new one). I moved too which helped. I still was unable or unwilling to try to relax in the evening without a glass of wine in my hand.

Then came cancer. In the aftermath of which my safe space was my bed. I didn't have the energy to sit in the evening. I still don't always.

It became a step too many to go from cooking tea, eating and then sitting in front of the TV before going to bed. So I skipped that step of decompression. Also I think I thought I could hide better in bed. No one would ask anything of me if I were in bed. A notion which was wrong as it turned out. As my eldest would ask things of me around the clock in the end.

When my eldest went into hospital and then the care home I couldn't just start being downstairs, relaxing again. The house was a bomb site anyway and my grief, anger and inner turmoil from all the recent trauma meant I was back to hypervigilence. Throwing myself into tasks until I'd fall into bed. Then I'd play candy crush until my eyes were barely open. I couldn't bare silence or stillness and woke frequently from nightmares. CPTSD was in full throws again.

My window of tolerance for anything and anyone was tiny. I'd frequently lose my words and be unable to speak. Sensory overload was violently abrupt. I was in total burn out.

Now it's nearly 9 months on. Slowly and more and more I'm able to stop in the evening, cuddle up in a blanket. TV is able to keep my attention for longer and even on new things again. Bed is becoming a place once more just for sleeping, resting and recovering when I over do things.

Its blissful and something I feel many people take for granted.
