During my post-op I had some bloodwork done. I received the results the following day, which shows that my liver is damaged.
I called my doctor, but he was out of the office and I spoke with an on call doctor who doesn’t know me.
Before the second surgery I hardly took any medication, now I take quite a bit. I don’t drink any alcohol because of how it will interact with my medications. One is a beta blocker for my heart rate. This doctor told me to stop drinking and I would be fine. The more I tried to explain I don’t drink, the more unconvinced he was. I felt like I was a cliché character who is committed in an asylum and tells everyone, “I’m not crazy!”
I decided to just wait till my doctor got back to the office. When he did he said he thinks it could be the medication I take for seizures. I’m already weaning off of that for surgery. I also take a headache medication that could be contributing. But, when we talked to the pharmacist, she said I’m on such a low dose of both that she doesn’t think it’s the medication causing it at all.
My doctor says it’s not enough to disqualify me from surgery, but once I’m through the woods with surgery I’m going to need to follow up on it and we are going to keep a close eye. It could just be my body under intense pressure and stress.
Please pray for healing for my liver as we don’t know what’s going on with that.💜
Thank you,
Shae
