Oh - I was thinking the transplant was something they discussed post operatively and somehow connected to why they didn't take the gall bladder out. What did they say is wrong with your liver (if you don't mind me asking)?

I have had fatty liver for years, it is now borderline cirrhosis. Part genetic, part alcohol. My grandfather and both of his brothers had cirrhosis, and two of them never drank. Drinking just gave the genetics a boost, in my case.

We are home and done for Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching and as is usual at this time of the year I'm on full on crazy mode. Feeling sad and angry and upset and crying randomly. I know the mood is over as soon as Christmas is over so I don't even try to fight it, I take my walks, eat ridiculous amounts of sugar, cry and procrastinate. December 25 end of day I'll be in bed with Jack Daniels' and this will all be over.

Don't worry, dear heart. I had an epiphany several years ago. It's only the first 80 years that are really hard. ;-)

Most of my dad's family lives into their 90's-ish, that leaves me a good 10 years of enjoyment

Dear girl, go easy on the sugar, drink plenty of Jack Daniels. You are not alone, it will be over soon.

Hope you can make the best of it given the circumstances.

Thank you.
Still doesn't feel like Christmas though when it's 28°C outside.

Just off to the pharmacy to get a needle stuck in my arm.

That's my flu jab done. Hopefully it won't leave me feeling like I've been trampled by a herd of wildebeest.

Only 22 people queuing outside the butcher's today. I've found a new hobby - queue counting.

That's because someone stole all your gifts and left a blue drinks bottle in their place! What's Aus for "Grinch?!"
