@2011panc That really must have made you feel good, congratulations. When I was in the throes of cirrhosis I tried my best to maintain my appearance because I did not want anyone to look at me and feel sorry for me. People frequently mentioned how good I looked, even the medical people when I went for appointments. My PCP said if he didn't know I was sick he would think I was perfectly healthy. That was my goal and it did make me feel good. The last six weeks or so things did go downhill and I gained so much fluid weight that I couldn't leave the house -- no shoes fit!, so then no one really saw that I no longer was looking good.
