LET'S SCOOP SOME POOP !!!LOL (FYI typing in funky mode again)

So, I saw my liver dude on Tuesday. He's a nice man, I understood everything he said which I liked. Sometimes when I see these guys it's like they have their own secret language club and i'm not a member. So I had a requisition for A LOT of tests (blood and poop) I know ooooooh, they give you what looks like a little pitchfork, I know too much detail but it was really funny, I was grossed(real word??) out but at the same time I was thinking,"oh what must I look like right now?!". Here's how I made out. Firstly, my poop test came back fine from what I could tell by the comments YAY :) My GGT is still high but is still on it's way down, red blood is looking good, white is low, but i'm having another vitamin drip on Tuesday so that'll help give me a jolt and a low count isn't abnormal given my illness. All my liver tests are out of the 'good' range some less than others and i'm no expert so I don't know how much outside the range is acceptable. I just figure if there's a problem someone will call. I still have an ultrasound to do but i think it's going to come down to the bloodwork personally. Getting the enzymes back on track will be the way to go. My weight is maintaing itself at 107lbs that's very good news. I'm hooked on Liberte Coconut Greek yogurt (good for my weight)it's high in fat content. I was told to eat the high fat yogurt but I water it down a bit with a lower fat yogurt only because it's really really creamy. So onto bigger and more exciting things...My awesomly awesome daughter is coming back tomorrow! Not to live with me. I'm just the in-between place, her plan is to find a job and somewhere to live and start the next chapter of her life however that looks. I'm trying to think what else I have to share with you guys but I can't think of anything...hmmmmmmmmm maybe that's it. Could I actually be all caught up? Yup I believe I am. Alright then. Thanks guys for all your prayers, I am in much better head space these days, I'm feeling much stronger and tighter with God than I have been with God which is always good for a pick me up. In my Bible study group, I don't understand a lot of it, but I get little nuggets here and there. So I'm focusing now on the reality that God is my ultimate boss, I do my job for Him, He gave me my job, He employs me and decides when I'm to leave and what I learn and how I learn. So this is a huge lesson I am only beginning to learn and I have only just begun (side note: really good Carpenters song)and already I find I am rubbing my head and asking "WHY?" over and over. So, I move on into the new chapter of learning how to do life in this world that I am in. Well, I guess I did have more to say afterall. Ok now seriously I'm going:) Bless you, thank you. Please pray Alex finds the right job and the right place to live and they both be of Gods choosing and have His blessings on them. This was on the first page of my Bible study session this week... "...there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'"

Old me New me Old me New me Old me New me and so on and so on ....

In my defence my computer has not been behaving, well I think its more my blog has not been behaving because I’m at work and its fine.  Whatever now I’m blogging.  Lots to tell you.  Alex has decided to move back to the north shore and will be crashing on my couch from February 28 – march 31 at which time she plans on having a job that will allow her to rent a room somewhere (I’m hoping on the north shore) but she’s leaving the doors openL

The naturopath was very helpful, he gave me some solid ideas for changing the foods I eat, and I have a couple friends that are helping me do that by making the best soups ever and I’m getting some cooking tips from another friend which has helped all of this is to help the digestive system clean itself out, well I assure you its cleaning, a little to much for my liking.  What else is new? My weight is headed in the right direction, my last weigh in was at 102lbs and yesterday I weighed in at 107.8 so that’s positive, still have a way to go but I’m getting there. 

I had a very depressing couple weeks I guess it was mid January, pissed off a few people, people that mean a lot to me, hurt people that also meant a lot to me. Battled going back to the ‘old me’  which is a very guarded fully protected hard edged, excuse my language, but an absolute bitch, because it keeps me from getting hurt so it has been a battle a real real hard one.  It feels almost as if God and I have wrestled it back and forth with it.  If I close my eyes that’s exactly what I see.  Me and god wrestling.  I think I am too open.  My dear friend Lois, bless her heart was always so open as am I.  What I didn’t realise is that, that can come with a price and I would bet she paid that price many times as have I.  I have always been this way.  As my Toronto dad says, “if you ask a question be prepared for the answer” and I guess I’ve always been the same way.  Well I’m going to thicken my filters and choose what I say to who I say it too more carefully because I am not going thru another couple weeks like those, it was one thing after another and then fighting against the old me was almost impossible and it was too close of a fight.  And I can assure you, I really was not a nice person.  Well many of us weren’t before we knew christ.

So onto my good news, I had an MRI last week and the results yesterday and nothing has changed wwwwwoooooohhhhhhoooooooJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ

I hope you can see these cause they’re all happy faces.  My liver is still taking a bit of a beating and the enzymes are not bouncing back as quickly as they’d like so I’m going to see ANOTHER specialist, a liver specialist---never had one of them before.

Bless you, sorry for the long delay.  I can only blog now if I come in early or stay late at work so please understand if there’s a delay.

Here’s your song.  This would be my battle in my head song

And please continue to pray for me and for Alex’s move,

Thanks, Mel
