Where Things Are For Now
It has been a while since I updated. My liver biopsy showed no autoimmune disease, but Fatty Liver Disease. The treatment for this is losing weight and exercise, so I am on my way with that. My surgery scheduled for December 21st has been now postponed because I was taking too much thyroid medicine. We switched from Tirosint back to Synthroid. The dosage is off and Dr. C said surgery would be unsafe at the level it was. He backed me down a bit and I will do blood work once the sun comes up. I started on the the two week liquid diet prior to surgery and honestly the 4 days I did it, it was not that bad. It helps that I like my protein powder. I started stressing how I was going to work the Coumadin/Lovenox shots, getting IVF filter, and then possibly not having the surgery if my thyroid level is still off. I don't like to mess with my Coumadin unless necessary and the stop/start for the Lovenox with the question of whether the surgery would be on 2 days before was too much for me. I decided to postpone until the first of the year when my thyroid levels are where they need to be. Hopefully they are back on track and I can schedule this puppy. I am ready to go. It kinda feels like I am walking around in a maze and someone keeps sticking their leg out and tripping me. In the morning I have an appointment to see about the IVC filter. I really do not want one of these and my PCP agrees with me. I want a good explanation of why I need this. So far I have not gotten one.
