"So, what have we here? Fatty Liver, eh?" Dr Stanley remarked as he pointed me to a chair beside his desk.
"I don't know. I'm only worried that it might turn out to be that other thing, the big C." Says I, more than a little petrified by the fear of bad news.
"Oh come on, we've been seeing you for more than two years without treatment. If it is that other thing, you wouldn't be here after six months."
"Gosh! Thank you for saying that. You've laid my qualms to rest."
Indeed, he had. My liver enzymes were not within appropriate limit - yet - but its getting there. As for the cholesterol and blood sugar, they're not looking good but I could get used to that. Meanwhile, the previous bone scan revealed that I had Osteopenia. (reduced bone mass of lesser severity than osteoporosis.)
So all in all, it's blue skies and everything nice. I'm in such an jolly mood.
Except.
That's right. There is an exception to everything. I can't bend my fingers in the morning. The firm grip that I once had is gone. And me finger joints hurt some. I'm not sure how long I'll take to get used to this.
