Things to truly be thankful about.

[MaxMan]

Praise God, wife's liver scan came back with no Cirrhosis*. The doc kinda thought it might be true. Also, she came through the Glaucoma surgery successfully as least so far. When it comes to health it's very easy to sort out what is really important.

Nonalcoholic Cirrhosis for some of you.

 

[Mike J]

I pray that she recovers quickly.

Being sick with anything is the craps. I've got a bad kidney a bad heart and a bad head. My liver goes bad. I'm really gonna be in bad shape. I sure am glad your wife is well and getting over her problems. Wishing good health for all.

Great news for sure!

Each morning before breakfast, I pray and thank God for my food. But not only for my food, but for the skill to know how to fix it, a stove to fix it on, and a kitchen and my small house, and that I was born an American.

So many things we often take for granted.

Isn't that usually caused by excess iron? I had an uncle who was a teetotaler and he had cirrhosis. At first the docs didn't believe he wasn't a secret drinker. Then one bright fellow dis some blood tests and his iron levels were out the roof. Change of diet made a significant improvement, also with some blood transfusions. He had to have regular blood tests the rest of his life. Lived into his 80's.

It can also be from chemicals absorbed through the skin. Lots of tradesmen were labeled drunks when it was work related.

Thank God she doesn't have cirrhosis. My wife had a major health scare this year and it all came out good. It definitely makes you appreciate good health.

Thank you all for the kind words and support. The fact that the Cirrhosis is not an issue is truly a blessing now special diet time No Carbs or sugar. And oh with the Hemochromatosis to Iron (Red meat, dark green veggies etc).

 

[WendyZXZ]

That is good news about the cirrhosis and I hope for all the best for any future improvements!

A very good friend (now deceased) used to say: "Don't tell me you are grateful, show me you are grateful."

MaxMan, I'm glad your wife is all right.

This is a nice thread. My wife and I have had some bad luck this summer and it's nice to read something positive.

 

[sfhogman]

As the end of his life approached, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote a book called "Gratitude". Well worth a read.

Bob I just remembered something. You can't control what happens, but you can control how you choose to react to it.
