The Month of Health

From teh PSC Partners Seeking a Cure discussion board:

So, by some miracle, I woke up one morning about a month ago and felt great. Yeah, I had my moments and still needed some pain med. But let me tell you, I was out shopping and driving. I bought high heels and lacy underwear and told myself I didn't have to face a life of Ugg boots and hospital-appropriate panties.

I wore makeup and did my hair. I hung out with friends. I cooked food. I ATE the food. I danced and laughed. My MELD went down to an 11....which wasn't so great, but my health was showing on paper, anyway.

I wanted to share this because, although this board is a good place to come when you need help, it's also a place to come and tell people, "Hey, things will be okay and I'm living proof of that!"

For the past 4-7 days (can't keep track) I've been really starting to go downhill. Back to where I started. It's hard and sometimes that brief breath of healthy air seems like a curse. Like life was taunting me or something. But deep down I know that's not true. I came back with new lessons, a new perspective and some cute new outfits. Before this happened I was pretty sure I wasn't going to live that much longer. I'd even written down some funeral plans and asked my dad to come to Lincoln so I could see him one more time. So believe me when I say, if a one-month-of-miracle-health can happen to me, it can happen to you.
