Well it is like I thought, Auto immune liver disease (hepatitis) and we are starting the medicine this morning. The doctor gave me a very good link for a website that explains all about it. There are no nasty pictures or anything, just informative material. You can get to it HERE
I am feeling really good about where we are at, and that we can now move forward. I spoke to him about the possibility of working and he said if I feel up to it then no problem. He said I might feel nausea but it should be manageable. So depending on sign of from the CEO I might have work for the next 12 weeks or so, which hopefully will be a good foot in the door, and hopefully will lead to further work down the track. I will keep everyone updated as I learn more.
I am going to be working closely with my dietitian at Hamilton to try and combat the increased appetite that I might get from the steroids.
Anyway, off this morning to meet Porsche and Riddicks new foster mum (hopefully) and then to get a blood test and then to work. Pretty much just have today and tomorrow left in the office and then I am done with that. It has been quite nice to have this wind down week just getting things finalised.
Congrats...I know it always feels better to have answers and a plan...the unknown is always so much worse...Still praying for you guys...all the best...Jil
