a beautiful day today

I all honesty I am still trying to absorb the results from my doctor's appointment, which is why I have not written on my blog. I do intend to spend some time with it and the write on my blog - probably for the last time.
Many have asked what the doctor said, so I will go ahead and fill you in on that:
1) It appears that my liver has done some regeneration. They do not know the extent of it until they run a scan in 2 months.
2) I will remain on all my medications.
3) I am still on a restricted diet.
4) I will have bloodwork taken every 6 weeks now instead of every 2 weeks.
5) I do not have to see the doctor again for another 4 months.
6) I do not have to have a liver transplant! I am not even on that radar anymore. I don't even have to see the transplant psychiatrist anymore.
7) I can travel anywhere - even Europe in August! I have to practice Aloha in the islands soon and the only time I can get away without missing the boys sports is spring break (and I am not sure we can all get reservations at this late date). Clay and I are planning a 3 day getaway in 2 weeks - probably somewhere warm in southern Florida (anybody have any suggestions?).
I will write more at a later time. In the meantime, remember to continue practicing aloha!
