Guest guest Report post Posted February 8, 2009 , I don't have liver disease, I was my husband's caregiver until he passed on Jan. 26. I do, however, have other health problems. I have heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, gastroparesis with a gastri pacemaker and depression. My husband went the last 12-18 months of his life, never leaving the house other than for a rare doctor's visit and trips to the hospital. I usually get out about 1-2 times weekly in the colder months, if I'm able. In the warmer months, I try to get out at least every other day. Now, having said that, I do go outside every day to take care of my dogs and get the mail. I have always been the type that just would not sit down and quit. Even before I got my gastric pacemaker and I was vomiting over 20 times a day, I MADE a way to go out to run my own errands. Even if it meant pulling over on the side of the road to throw up several times during the outing. Since my husband's death, I have been out on trips to town or to family or friends houses at least every other day. I think staying indoors all the time contributes to my depression and I refuse to do that. I sometimes make a trip into town just to run by and get a milkshake just so I have a reason to get out. I just don't want to give in to my illnesses or to the temptation to become a hermit now that my husband has passed. Now, all that is just my way of looking at my own life. All of us are not alike and thank the Lord for that! My way works for me, I'm by no means saying it is right for you. Also, the more advanced your liver disease gets, the less able you will be to get out. You do need to get out of bed every day that you can possibly drag yourself out. Even if it's just to go from the bed to the sofa or a comfortable chair, it's important to say to yourself " I will not lie in this bed and die " . Again, that's just my opinion hun. I'm praying for you . I cannot imagine what it must be like to be you and live under your circumstances. Make the best choices you can for your own health and well being. God bless you! Warm hugs..............

Guest guest Report post Posted February 8, 2009 , what you are feeling is normal and I'm sure we've all had those days..or weeks. It was really helpful for me to talk to the transplant psychologist (sp?). I was started on wellbutrin and in like two weeks I started taking care of me again. I know it's gross but I wouldn't shower for three days at a time, I never returned phone calls or emails, my vision was so focused on everything that was wrong with me. I know anti-depressants aren't for everyone and I never felt one work on me until wellbutrin. The other suggestion and more important would be to give it to God, or whatever your higher power may be. You might be alone in your apartment but you've got my support and hope with you. If I can climb up out of the dark than anyone can And.. I'm not sure about this but I think that you are able to have palliative care or hospice even if you are on the list. You probably need a doctor to refer you and/or you might need to be more sick. It couldn't hurt to look into it and it would provide you with a support system. Just a thought. > > From: abijann <no_reply > > Subject: > To: livercirrhosissupport > Date: Saturday, February 7, 2009, 5:07 PM > > > > > > > Welcome to this group.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 8, 2009 , do you own a good computer? Is it new, and fast? I am stuck in one place most days right here on my couch because the more I move around, the more it wakes up my pain. My pills make the pain go to sleep, but I have to stay still for them to work the best. Of course there are things to be done, and this is why my doctor is fleible on how to dose the medication. On a Saturday, I stay still and take one or two fewer pills, untill the shopping, then I take an extra pill, and cat box duty, which is usually around 2:00 am Sunday, and I take an extra pill in order to do that. I have found a bunch of things to do on the computer, and I will write a post in a few minutes on what they are.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 8, 2009 My gosh,Abijann. Your post was amazing. It made ME feel better and I wouldn't say I'm really depressed right now., but even us caregivers who are doing okay right now can benefit from your words.... you're so right about loving yourself and taking care of yourself. .Once again, I'm going to keep it for future reference. You are so wise. I just love you! It's like you know just what to say. Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments. Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away. From: abijann <no_reply > Subject: To: livercirrhosissupport Date: Sunday, February 8, 2009, 10:06 PM Did you ever notice that when someone finds out someone is sick with a serious condition... all of a sudden they don't know what to say to that person. Or, if someone sees someone depressed, they don't approach them as often. It is a normal response that people only want to be around the healthy and well. Being depressed yourself can have a similar effect, especially if you think other people don't understand what you are going through, if they never experienced what you are going through, or they don't hear what you say to them, or they say something to make you feel less important or appreciated. There are tons of caregivers out there who are totally on their own taking care of their loved ones. They don't know who to turn to for help or whether they will have to pay for someone's elses help. They can feel trapped or isolated. People who are sick don't always feel like being around others. Having others there can, at times, wear them out. When someone comes to your home...you tend to make them the center of attention and you offer them drinks and listen to all they say. Some patients feel that it is their obligation to entertain and make the person visiting them feel welcome and comfortable even if they do not feel well. And some patients don't like to be made the center of attention by having others who ask them why they didn't see such and such a doctor and why they don't try different things that others suggest. It isn't bad that you don't go outside your home. What is bad is if you don't want to leave your home. If you start to look at the beauty of creation and think about that...it will lift your spirit. Going outside and looking at the sky at night with the stars, make me realize how very small I am in comparison and how my problem seem to become less and almost meaningless. Doing things that comfort yourself is good also...like preparing a bath with only a candle lit in the bathroom, or trying a new tea you never drank before, or warming a towel to wrap up in after your bath. You have to realize how very special you are. You have to sit down and say and look at all you do for others in your life and maybe now it is your turn to be treated special. It takes loving yourself. They say you cannot love others, unless you love yourself first. Love flows from you to others around you and that is what people will remember you by. It means being yourself and opening up your heart to them...it means being their for them and letting them be there for you. There is a time when we have to take care of others, but there is also a time when others will have to take care of us. This gives us a chance to learn compassion and understanding, it also gives us a chance to experience others doing for us in our times of need. Experience life and learn how to enjoy it. Live each and everyday... forget about the past and don't be afraid of the future that you cannot do anything about. Live in the here and now. When you wake in the morning...try to add some things to your day where you can do something special just for yourself.... no matter how minor it is. You don't have to run around to do that. In the olden days, most people only had their homes to stay in...they didn't have the modern transportations we have now a days to run all over the place. They had to learn how to entertain themselves without all the modern TV, computers, etc we have today. Depression is very hard to come out of. Life at times can seem torturous... but, it doesn't have to be that way. I wish I could give you a hug, cause I know you are going through so very much.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 9, 2009 I am replying to my own post to give some examples of how I deal with this house bound situation. I used to be a gardener for the city and county of Denver. I worked outside every day, 8 hours a day. I a musician, and used to play drums in a country band. I am a big game hunter and fisherman, and used to camp in our 16 foot Cheyenne lodge in the high country of northern Colorado, near the small towb of Oak Creek. We set up our bigger teepee poles permanantly on my best friend's private land, 5,000 acres surrounded by 100 square miles of national forest and BLM land. We were active in every way, spending every weekend in the summer away, fishing or camping or attending a mountain man rondevoux. Now we are both out of work, in the house 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Tommorrow I go to the doctor to get my eye looked at. I have some kind of infection, and jaundice. I am scared. NOw, about how I spend my time, I watch lots of movies at HULU . Com. It is free internet movies, and tv. I also use a program called " the gimp " to make graphics for my blog, billybobswildride. The link for my blog is in the link section. The beating heart on my blog, and the spinning wong baker pain scale was made with the gimp. You can easily make all kinds of animated gif images with this program, and it is totally 100 percent free, because it is open source. I also use a scylpting program to digitally. Sculpt in 3D. Z brush is very fun, but expensive, at $600 dollars. I bought it before I got so sick, in hopes of making a career in animation. I still hope to do this. Then there is a program called " miro " which is a free web browser for videos. There is a free program called google sketch up- you can use to sculpt 3D buildings for Google earth. I built our house, and a radio tower, and a Greek Orthodox cathedral, and my moms house and uploaded them to the google earth 3D warehouse. I am " denver gardener " in the 3D warehouse. If you open google earth on your computer, and scroll down to the Denver area, you will see a radio tower located south of downtown. I grew up in a tiny house 500 feet west of this tower. I built it in google sketch up, and just found out now that my model was accepted into the world 3D layer of google earth. This means that it will exist as long as there is a google. If you use sketch up, you can learn to do 3D modeling for Google earth. Keep in mind that school children are responsible for the vast majority of the 3D models. Then, you can view your creation in google earth. I fly in the flight simulater on google earth every day. I have flown in the mountains along the Canadian border near Washington state, and even. In the deep ouit back of Austrailia. I fly in Africa, and all over Europe. Just install google earth, and open the program, scroll down to a location you are familiar with and select from the tools drop down menu, and you can select either an f16 fighter, or a prop plane. It is sometimes breath taking to fly over the Colorado rocky mountains in this flight simulater, because is have such a vivid imagination, and my encephalopathy does all the rest. For those who are really bored, you can join second life. It is a paralelle universe located in cyberspace. You sign up, and then you create a persona and live whatever kind of life you wish there. They even have their own money, which is interchangeable with US dollars, and you can earn money there also, and even work at a " job " . I hope someone will be able to find something to do using this information! Love, Bobby A.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Bobby - you amaze me. Between my medicines, my age, I have trouble doing a lot of things, such as the things you mention below. I did set up a my space page to communicate online with my youngest son, but can't get back in it after setting it up. So, I bought him a pay as you go phone whereby we can talk anytime we want since it is Verizon like our cell phone. Friends want me to join Facebook. They say just go there and it will tell you how. I haven't done it yet. I used to teach computers, and I can't get this one to back up periodically onto a cd. Tells me it can't use the cd I put in, but once it did do some and then quit. I used to teach computers, now I have trouble learning anything new on here. I don't think I have hepatic encephalopathy like you do. But I can't do what you are doing. I have to leave the house (and sometimes I have to force myself to do that) and find outside stimulation to keep me going, and then come home and crash for a day or so. I have been up since some time after 10 or so, usually turn on the computer before I go to the bathroom after getting up, but didn't turn it on until 1/2 hour or so ago, now 4:11. I am determined not to leave the house today, just going to rest, not even practicing my keyboard today, reading and sleeping. Maybe I can talk my grandson into making dinner again. Or we will have tilapia again, simplest thing to make in a hurry. Sorry for the rambling, put it down to that brain problem.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Phyllis - I fix it in the micro. After thawing out the tilapia filets ( about 1/4 pound each), I pat it dry with a paper towel, place it in a pie pan, sprinkle with butter buds. I used to use buttery spray, but it left the fish rather wet. I then season it with lemon pepper, lowry's or other seasonings we like depending on which one we haven't had for awhile. Cover the plate with waxed paper because the fish will pop before it is all done, and then put a dome cover on the whole thing. It takes about 3 minutes for 3/4 pound of fish. My micro is 1100 what ever micros are, so you have to adjust for higher or lower. I have done it in the oven too, and it gets even drier, but not necessarily too dry if you watch it carefully. I can never remember how long to leave it in there. I did try it on the Foreman Grill, and it cooked it fine, but it wanted to fall apart when I was taking it off.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Me too. I use a free pdf creator called " primo pdf " . I print everything. I also use a lot of screen shots now. I just hit the " Fn " key, and " PrtScrn " , at the same time, and open the paint program which in accessories, and right click and paste. Wala. I even have a short cut to paint, on the desk top, and I'll just move my browser window over, and get paint opened up. This is not such a good idea, but sometimes you have no choice. One could always hid this folder in a place you won't forget, or you could make photos, and use the numbers in the names of the pictures. Like having a screen shot of gmail, and the password is hidden in the name of the picture. I don't know if I am making any sense, but just imagine a picture in a folder on my computer. It is a picture of the word yahoo. The file name is " 8754bisquetandgravy8uyy6okg " and the actual password to a yahoo account is " dgravy " , or " 54 busquet " . Well, unless a hacker is actually in your computer, and can see the jpeg image, they would have no way of knowing that this was a password to an account, get it? It is the file name of a jpeg image, which they cannot see, but this is assuming a person is just logging your key strokes. If the are able to hack into your computer, you are sunk anyway. But if you hid these photos in your photo album, it would be very very hard for a hacker to know what end was up. Jpeg images have a huge advantage in security for you, because except for the file name, they are not digits. this might not be a good suggestion. More input is needed.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Phyllis, I have a suggestion. Lightly sprayed with olive oil pam, nd sprinkled with various mrs Dash, then broiled in a convection toaster oven. Serve on a bed of steamed rice, and garnish with also broiled asparagus sprigs. If anyone does not have a convection toaster oven, for liver disease , it is a must. You can make very low fat, NO salt corn chips. Cut the soft fresh corn tortilla into quarters, and lightly spray with olive oil pam, and broil under the elements of a convection toaster oven. Did I mention how nice it is to have a toaster oven if you have liver disease, or your loved one does? I inherited Ardis' toaster oven. We call it the " superduperconvection oven " . It toastes, roastes, and convects. Better than any other method. Nothing will reheat as good as this thing.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 13, 2009 The convection toaster oven is SO usefull for a person with liver disease because you can use so much less oils to achieve a kind of eating which is really tasty, like for instance, broiled salmon, tilapia, you can make those corn chips like I described, by using only a slight spray of olive oil pam, you can make salt free corn chips. This means when every one else is enjoying chips and salsa during a football game, you need not suffer and long for some. By employing a superduper convection toaster oven, you gain the ability to roast any thing, and it will turn many things fresh again. Like things you cannot reheat any other way. We eat pizza twice a month, and when we order a pizza, it will make 5 meals. One piece contains 750 Mg of sodium, but I eat nothing during the day that has sodium any way. I never have a hard time keeping in my sodium budget. These re-heat meals are pizza and a salad, and you just put that piece of pizza on the toaster oven rack, and turn it on low, like 200, or 250, and in 15 minutes, it looks and tastes EXACTLY like it did when it first came out of the pizza oven. There is no steam like a microwave, or even conventional oven, a convection oven uses a fan to distribute heat all around the food. You can bake a small pan of muffins in 5 minutes. Cookies take 6 minutes. Toast, toasted bagels, anything you want browned, a convection toaster oven does what a regular oven cant. A corningware full of asparagus sprigs, a slight spray of the olive oil pam, and a sprinkle of ms dash, and some fresh ground pepper is so so tasty. I LOVE Ardis super duper convection oven by cuisinart. It is my prize possession she left us.

Planning to buy a veggie steamer too.
