I think it is messed up that so many people are not organ donors. Most of their reasons are just ridiculous. They'll say they don't know how, they haven't gotten around to it, they are not super young and healthy so their organs are no good, they want to be fully intact when they are chucked into a casket for years of rotting... argh!

I am a registered organ donor, but I'd like to donate everything... blood, organs, skin, eyes, hair, etc. Anything that can be used, they should use it... just cremate me after. I think they let the family decide about hair and eyes and other external things, so my family better be listening to me when I tell them I want to donate everything and be cremated.

D. They Don't know if it is gone or just waiting on the side lines to jump me when I least expect it =( I had a second attack in June a few months after the first attack, they thought I was on the mend, all signs had pointed that way at any rate. The next thing I knew, I was back in the hospital and sicker than the first time.

The damage at this point in time to my liver was severe. They did a second liver biopsy and found the internal damage was almost 75 percent more cirrhosis fibrosis (thats just a fancy way of saying scar tissue) than the previous biopsy. To this day they do not know what caused the first attack of hepatitis.

The etiology or is it entomology, anyways, whatever they want to call it. Is from a unknown cause the first time nor do they know what caused it the second time. I have tested negative for all the Common & uncommon forms of hepatitis. Whatever it was, well it might be gone or it might come back again.

They just don't have any real answers for me, at least none that they can give me, with what is known in modern science today. That does not mean they might not find a answer tomorrow... What I do know is this. Autoimmune hepatitis is the most serious and complex as there is no definitive reason for why the immune system attacks the liver.

What else I do know is that the Necrosis (death) of my liver cells brought on by the inflammation and fibrosis may lead to liver failure. Well that has happened to me twice. I defied the odds and by Gods grace I survived. In most cases Death within 5 years of onset occurs in 40 to 50% of patients. That is the outlook of my life...

I have survived since October 2007 (possibly the first time liver failure began) If things go the way in the text books I may be one of the 50 to 60 % to survive for a long time. Or I could be unfortunate & have liver failure brought on by another bout of of a autoimmune form of hepatitis and end up dead a few days after it starts.

Now you know as much as I do.

Toad in the hole or was it a A pigs whistle...

a pigs whistle is a sausage that is coated in a beer batter and deep fried this dish is some times served on a stick natasha.. and very delicious...

Toad in the hole is a sausage that is cooked in breading batter such as Yorkshire pudding...

then there is the corn dog style sausage not as good as a pigs whistle though...

15 inch IBM think-vision monitor I tossed the old 19 inch CRT Samsung 950T into the trade I like this smaller monitor much better. Sure it might not have near as much landscape but I got a ton more desk space which means more room for my junk and the speakers again..

Natasha · Jun 25 10 10:31

More junk will just make it look more crowded again.

bought last - a pickle

Orik · Jun 25 10 10:35

Lol what I mean is I can actually clean the desk top off of the junk thats there and put both monitors on the same desk top get some zap straps and start a little cable management. I see some good potential for this computer room now that I have 2 LCD monitors instead of them bloody large weigh a ton CRT ones.

For more information On Landscape and monitors see [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_monitor"]this WIKI p[/a]age... Let's just say I have more desk space with the LCD flat screen monitor. Than the big old bulky CRT monitor Do you remember those big glass ones Tasha ? A CRT monitor takes up almost 3 x the desk space of a LCD

Again I have no clue what you just said right there ..lol. I do remember the bigger monitors. Funny how at the time, it was the best thing ever. With all the advancements we have now, it seems embarrassing to even admit you had one.
Oh.. thanks for the link
