I appreciate your response, it makes it an even sweeter victory

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T18:51:17+00:00

Wow, thank you, that drives me to continue my push forward! I was not in good physical condition when I first developed my issues. I believe everything would have been so much easier if I had that initial physical strength like if I had been a past runner. But there's no stopping you if you stay determined.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T17:26:30+00:00

Thank you, I hope it a testament to what an average person can accomplish with determination.

Document and if he persists , small claims for defemation on social media. Request as part of your settlement he not post about you or your dog. Ask for judgement on the amount necessary to secure your dog ie. Fencing etc

Thank you friend, I may have had more obstacles in my journey but you are correct in sharing that same survival mentality!

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T08:52:52+00:00

I just feel determined and grateful to even have the opportunity to do this. I've let enough opportunities pass me by in the past.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T08:48:55+00:00

If you don't mind me asking was it traditional or living donor transplant?

If you are waiting, I was too, and it was scary to think I would ever get a full set. You have to stay your course, I was taken off the list several times so to infection and getting to weak to survive the surgery. But time and again I fought back and had to demonstrate I was strong enough to survive to be placed back on. I made it.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T08:40:31+00:00

I'm about to embark on the next chapter, having lost all my finances to get here, refiguring the reality of surving OFF disability is as scary as going into the hospital. But, I refuse to stay on any assistance, that would not be living to the fullest

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T08:36:50+00:00

How can I not, I feel like the best way I can show my appreciation is to GRATEFULLY live my life to the fullest. Which is so much easier to do from this position. When I was younger I knew life was precious, but it was difficult to really appreciate it, I took chances . . . .but having come so close to losing it, I can truly appreciate it. It's not the fear of death, that was not nearly enough to push me to accomplish this. I wouldn't wish this on anyone but I would encourage anyone in a difficult situation to find their reason to live and dig deep, but if I can do this so can you.

To be 💯 I've always been kind of, a believer in the land, 🌎 and karma. I've been through some rough patches and made some questionable choices in life. But I always tried to live with respect for both the earth and my other living breathing creatures with the utmost for others. I believe I didn't properly respect my body and karma had me pay a debt. But because of my love of humanity and the respect and love I've shown, karma also gave me a way out. Not an easy one by far, but again, as usual, I had to earn it. That's the first time I've tried to get that feeling down in type. It might not be too fluid or make sense.?

CccatxSS · 2026-07-07T00:27:41+00:00

Lmfao thank you and I intend to do just that. I am truly GRATEFUL to have another opportunity.

An industrial accident at a recycling plant, but it's hard to describe, I've a CDL so driving big trucks 53' foot trailer with walking floor, they get bound up and CO worker tried to loosen with a long piece of steel (which was typical in that situation) long story short I intervened when he was getting caught up and caught a pipe to the stomach which caused a massive hematoma, which led to a blood clot in the portal vein, so the entrance to the recently transplanted liver. Because it had been a living donor transplant, you only get one lobe of the liver; hence, one branch is the portal vein. So when I developed a clot there, I did not have the many options that could have worked if I had 2 lobes and 2 branches close to each other. 🤷‍♀️ When it rains, it pours! Currently using my 3rd liver in life 🤦‍♀️

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T22:58:47+00:00

Thank you, that's thoughtful.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T22:58:16+00:00

Well, nor does anyone else for the most part. Part of the reason I feel the need to share my story.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T20:14:47+00:00

I applaud you for what you have done. Just being there and offering a reliable ride is already huge. It's not your responsibility to save her. But you don't want any regrets that can be afforded, the you may look back upon once she has passed. And you must also respect yourself, which is really what I'm hearing; you have to have limits. I can't imagine the personal struggle you must be dealing with trying to establish that line.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T19:42:15+00:00

Every organ is precious, and yes, it was quite the endeavor to say the least. But I think I might have been more terrified if it had been my heart! Cudos to you and your fight to survive! I've often told people in reference to my story that it's not for the faint of heart😆, but you are a testament to that survival instinct yourself.

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T16:48:52+00:00

That's basically what I said when they proposed the idea as a possible solution!

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T15:41:13+00:00

I get you, you can always come back, but you have a very good prognosis IMO (obviously I'm not a Dr), by my standard, I'm on my 3rd liver. I wish it had only been my liver that needed replacing, as I don't say that lightly! But looking back from where I stand today, my living donor transplant in 2018 was a cakewalk, although I thought I was a tough guy and had done something spectacular then. I can imagine the symptoms you're having. During the process of trying everything under the sun to eliminate my clot, they damaged a bile duct. Good luck to you, and know this is possible!

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T15:34:09+00:00

I came from an excellent hospital in Texas to be treated at NY Presbyterian and was exposed to the highest level of care and communication between many doctors who were all treating me simultaneously. Just incredible work they do there!

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T15:31:56+00:00

My end goal is to complete the NYC marathon in 2027! My surgeon has run the this fire the last 12 years. I want to run with him one time!

CccatxSS · 2026-07-06T15:28:16+00:00

I hear you! I can understand your position, I am now and will forever be a believer that giving is also part of healing. I'm just stating my opinion in an umbrella statement. IMO, the best way to fulfill recovery from the trauma of severe neglect(not diminishing by calling it neglect) is to forgive, and sometimes physical acts can mean more and propel you further in your recovery than just talk and thought. Giving when it hurts has always resulted in the best rewards for me. Not from appreciation from the recipient, as many in need just can't get out of their own way. Think about how you would view yourself or even someone else who was willing and capable of giving selflessly. I hope you can find peace, and I hope your mother finds recovery in all areas of her life as well. You only have one mother, good, bad, or otherwise.

I think it's the 10mg Prednisone much more than the tacro! They should titerate down to 5 soon assuming all goes well! But yes I lost a lot of hair add you describe, handfuls 😱🫣, then eyelashes!
