In the midst of all my health issues, they finally labeled me with a diagnosis. It could have been worse so I am trying not to whine much. However, because of the current liver damage and potential for more, I have been instructed to refrain from alcohol.
Sigh....
Don't get me wrong, I am not an alcoholic and they are quick to say alcohol did not cause the damage, but let's not add fuel to the fire.
This really stinks, but I try to do the glass half full thing and know that they could have said "you have x amount of years to live". Nothing that tragic happened so I should be thankful. And I am.
Sad I am as well though. I mourn not just the liquid but the fun that comes with sharing a drink with friends and loved ones.
He said one glass on special occasions. I think that it a challenge...to make every moment as special as can be.
Dang! We never had that drink did we?
ReplyDeleteWe'll always have special occassions or Paris?
ReplyDeletejust drink coke in a small glass, they'll think it rum & coke and then you can be in the middle of the party again.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I figure I will become the best person to party with - always the designated driver.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is okay with me.
But did the doctor say anything about recreational drugs? Just kidding. Sort of. Does Vicodin count?
ReplyDeleteI told my husband my last resort was weed, but then there are those damn munchies....I can't win.
