Well - somehow hubby & I got thinking about the watusi and decided to dance. Then we looked up the dance on youtube to try to imitate. :rotlf: What a sight to see. At least it's good exercise. :dancegirl:

Wah Watusi

I must have been clenching my jaw all day - my teeth & jaw & ear all hurt. I'll try to sit with my mouth open for awhile and see if it relieves the pressure. Now - that is an attractive sight :harhar:

She is doing pretty well. She is working again, she has been sober over a year. I am hoping next check up will show improvement. She is on track for a transplant but that is a last resort.

Thank you for asking.

Oh - I am so glad to hear that. I hope that there will be improvement. The liver is remarkable. My dad had part of his liver removed and the doctors did mention that it would regenerate(long story - yes he was an alcoholic but he developed a liver infection that almost killed him. The infection had nothing at all to do with alcohol unbelievably. Happy part of the story is that he never drank another drop and he survived for another 10 years or more very happy and grateful)

So nice to see so many posting here. A lot of support and encouragement for me and I so appreciate it! I am just so grateful for each one of you! My sister called today, she was by my dad. She was unable to wake him. He slept through the night, which isn't usual. His labs are slightly off and the thinking was an IV would help. So far nothing. TS and I left him at 8 tonight and he's not woken up for a solid 24 hours. Covering Doctor wanted to admit him to the hospital, we refused. Hoping for some kind of change tomorrow, we shall see. I'll go over in the morning to see how the night went.

Morning friends,Nora,usually I'm on in the evening but 600 lb life was on then Dr.Pimple popper omg that show makes my stomach churn but hubs was loving it! Probably be a great appetite suppressant to watch an episode of that before eating? Cinders,wonderful that your daughter has one year sober! You know it's one thing for us to have this addiction but a whole different level when it's your kid,I think worse,Nora I've never heard that about your dad's liver before,how scary,Liz,keep us posted today ok? Waves to all and have a great AF Thursday!

My daughter simply cannot drink alcohol. It affects her body much more than most. Her doc said she had the liver of someone who had been drinking for years and years.

On the other hand, I abused my liver just as badly as she did and lft's keep coming back fine. Doctors are amazed.

I keep reminding myself that alcohol is actually a poison. For some of us more than others.

Wave to all Steppers. Off to take granddaughter to school orientation.

Lizann,

Not sure about what all is going on with your dad. I will pray for all of you that things work out as they should.

Hugs from me.

That must have been something! ...ahh Lizann, sorry about your dad....bbj looking forward to the story....so hey all....I bid on the house I wanted yest and we are closing on the 31st! I am so excited as it is very beautiful. Also dd2 got a job at a high school that is close to it as a drum tech for marching band. So that will be handy for her.
