Thank you all my dear Cute family. I’m still in Wyong Hospital, 11 days now and I’m a lovely shade of yellow, though not contagious.

Well I had the liver biopsy and they treated me syrup to help the Liver function, ( 2 days in a row) which sent me into a whole new world of pain. Wave after wave, spasm after spasm, for about 6 hours.
I refused the third dose as, in my mind, it was more than a coincidence.

Sure enough, when I investigated the ingredients I found it was Lactose and Fructose based!!!!
What don't they understand about being allergic to milk, and milk products, sugar and all sugar derivatives including natural sugar???

Anyway, I managed to fall asleep, through total exhaustion, and woke up several hours later with controllable pain.

Now it's a waiting game, waiting for answers, so they sent me home to wait in the comfort, love and security of home. The only thing they have found, so far is that some time in the last six months I have contracted Glandular Fever, which, though I may not have had any symptoms, I have definitely been suffering the after effects of exhaustion, lethargy, lack of desire even inability, to drag myself out of bed to do the simplest of life's tasks.
I'm on a high Protein, low salt diet, 6 small meals a day, starting as soon as I open my eyes and ending the last thing before bed at night. I'm so full I have to force the protein down, and I'm so yellow my Iphone won't recognise me. Gotta have a laugh at that... :-)

Hugs and roses to all, love , M

Oh Ronny, God bless you and thank you. I was only thinking of you the other day, wondering where you had got to. I hope whatever issue kept you away, it has now been resolved and we will see you here more often.
Life can be so cruel as we get older, I hope it will turn around and be kinder and more gentle with us all.
Love you dear friend, huge hugs xxxxx Meg

Adding my prayers to everyone else's.

UPDATE: Meg has come home from hospital today. I'm going to now go and see her at her home on Friday instead of the hospital.

I rang Ray today and they are still awaiting results from her Biopsy yesterday. I hate having to wait for answers, so I can imagine how frustrating Meg must be feeling! Love Chris

Please know the beautiful quilt you sent me gives me comfort every day. It is one of my most prized possessions. II feel like it sends comfort from all the beautiful woman who made it. God bless and please give Meg a hug from me.

i am sorry to hear of how ill you are and have been. I just read this and praying for you. May the Lord send answers, healing and love. We all love you also will continue to keep praying. God bless you!

Just getting back to Cute. So sorry to hear you are so ill, Meg. I pray they do find your problem soon and have a remedy for you. It is scary for you both, I know. Keep us updated but only when you feel up to it. In the meantime, know we all care about you and are praying for answers.....

Thinking and praying for you constantly my dear friend.

You are in my thoughts and in my heart. Get well soon!

Praying for good results from your biopsy so that you can heal with the correct meds.

Hi Cuties, please keep Meg in your prayers. I spoke with her tonight on my way home from Amy's and she told me she is having a Biopsy tomorrow (Tuesday).
I'm going down to see her finally on Friday. I've just been so busy with family commitments. I can't wait to see her and she knows how many of you are praying for her healing. Love Chris

I don't know what to say other than I am so sorry for the condition and situation you find yourself in. I must say you are remarkably polite all things considered. Feel free to gripe and complain a bit more and we will all pray that soon you will no longer have anything to complain about. Bless you Meganne and get well soon!

Thank you all so much for your caring words and prayers.
I apologise I’m too exhausted to reply individually even sitting up is a massive strain on me just now.

They took more bloods for testing last night and they will take another lot tomorrow ( Tuesday), if nothing shows up they will do a liver biopsy.
There are hundreds of possible causes besides the commonly known ones, so they investigating the obscure causes.

Thank you all so much, knowing my Cute family is praying for me brings me more comfort and strength than I can ever express.

Always in my thoughts and prayers! Kisses dear.

So sorry that you are still feeling ill. Prayers you start feeling better very soon and your health returns. Hugs and blessings, Barba

So sorry Meg that you are going thru all of this. Prayers that they figure this out sooner, not later. Prayers.

Dear Meg, i'm so sorry they cant figure out the cause of your Liver failing, hopefully they come up with a treatment plan soon so you get to feel like your young self again. my thoughts are with you, sending you a big hug across the ocean,
Gabi

Prayers are coming your way . Hope they come up with answers soon and a treatment. Some meds can cause this too. I am sure the doctors are looking in all directions. Meanwhile you have a ton of people for you. Keep in touch we care! Suzanne

Oh, Meg...I hope they can find the cause and get you on a recovery treatment soon...You are in my thoughts and prayers...glad you felt well enough to drop a note to us letting us know how you are doing...stay strong!

Hi Meg, I am so hoping and praying that you get better really soon. I know you are in the right place to get some rest and hopefully some answers, although I can't, for the life of me, understand why it is taking so long to work it all out. It's great to hear that the nursing staff are looking after you so well. Keep your spirits up and know that there are many people praying for your healing. Love, hugs and prayers Chris

Keeping you in my prayers. Half the battle is over at least having a diagnosis. But I know how helpless you feel with no treatment plan as yet. Keep us updated. Hugs. Nan

Meg, I hope and pray they find soon why you are ill.
Take care , hugs send. linda

I do hoop you will get the answers and feel better soon. Thinking of you, prayers and hugs are coming your way.....Gerry

Continuing in prayers for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Oh dear Meg....been thinking about you....was hoping to hear you were home and getting kitty love and rest.....will keep praying for you and hoping the docs come up with an answer soon....much love to you!

We love you!

Hope you are feeling better soon. I was also diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver non Alcohol related and the tests showed that I was also Diabetic which had never been picked up before. I am lucky as no side effects with either apart from they now know why my belly doubled in size.
I am guessing they have checked your blood sugar?
Thinking of you try to stay positive and enjoy being waited on.

Continuing with prayers for you. Hopefully they find out soon what caused it so they can get you on the right road to recovery.

Meganne, I am so sorry you are going thru this! My first thought was also...chemo results? Praying they find the cause so they can start the cure! hang in there!

Meg, you haven't had the antibiotic Augmentin lately have you? Last year after being treated for a terrible sinus infection - my liver began to fail. A gastro doctor finally realized I had taken Augmentin before becoming ill. Turns out, I had a horrible reaction to the antibiotic. He put me on medication to get my bile duct working again and told me it would take a full year to recover - he was right. Could you be having a reaction to medication you have taken in the past? Oh please get better soon!! I know you must be feeling so sick. Please let us know how you are doing!!! I will say prayers for you every day! Hugs, Laura

Oh my dear Meg This was not good news. Know how you must look all golden. Definitely not tanned. I do not like that diagnosis and yes I have had patients with that diagnosis that have never drank a drop in their life. You have liver damage but they do not know why. Personally I wonder if it could have come from the chemo. Know you are loved and in my prayers DAILY. Wish I could be there to help you out. Hugging you in my heart this very moment.((((()))))))

Lets hope they can find answers and get you onto some treatment soon. Hugs

Hi Meganne , my prayers are sent to you. You are a tough cookie and with the good Lords hearing our prayers, you will be healed......
