My Name is Patty and I have lived, what I thought, was a healthy life.
There were the 80's but I plead the 5th...
Then during the summer of 2007 I started to feel really crappy.
In late August I developed a fever that would not go away.
That was the start of 9 months of tests.
I got poked, x rayed, ultra sounded, nucleared, EKGed, Q tipped where the doesn't show (Sun and Moon)
oxygenated, MRIed, brain scanned, biopsied.....................................
During the month of March I lost over 20 pounds,
starting losing my hair, got a rash, could not poop right....
I looked so hot.
The Final test - a 2nd Biopsy of my liver....
Well well looks like they found it.
My Liver is Kaput, fried, depleted, grey, gone to the dogs.
STAGE 4 CIRRHOTIC LIVER
I am in need of a new one.
Summer of 2008 I am on the donor list.
I got a new line for the Alanis Morrissette song "Ironic"
Waiting for someone to die in order to survive....
So here I am still with my sense of humor, needing a new body part.
Wanting to support the cause for body part donations.
I looked for T-Shirts, websites, Slogans etc
BUT
every dang one that I found out there was so serious.
I was going to just give up
No wonder people don't get healthy.
They are all too somber.
So with my best friend and a week in the country the summer of 2008
WE LAUGHED
We laughed about slogans for T-Shirts,that may show people that
HUMOR IS MEDICINE
for the body and soul
