cav's A2K absence and return

Hi everyone. It seems my absence has been noticed. Here is the tale of 'woe is me' that has kept me away: Not long after New Year's, I became extremely jaundiced almost overnight, and my abdominal region swelled up immensely. I checked myself into emerg. expecting a few tests, and was kept there for a week. I was subject to every damn test in the book, and in the end, they couldn't figure out what was wrong, but they thought it was my liver, as my liver was enormous. The last test was a liver biopsy, which I only got results from recently. The official diagnosis was acute steatohepatitis, or fatty liver disease with liver inflammation. The good news is, the condition is reversible, if I eat well, and stay away from alcohol, pain killers, things like fried foods, anything high in sugar, and just generally take care of myself. Bad news, I may not make a full recovery for a year or so. The docs were a tad mystified, as I am a bit too young for this condition, and my heavy drinking days ended about two years ago. Que sera sera. Each day is a little better, but things still take me an inordinately long time to do these days. Couple all this with chronic mid-back problems, and it's not a happy thing. The original fatigue is not nearly as bad, so I have returned, and hope to get back up to speed here soon. Feel free to send good wishes to me, or share experiences if you know anyone who has been through something like this.
