@annettebc, I have not seen any update and I am wondering how you are feeling. Were you able to get the appointment with the specialist you were hoping for?

@yaminaburleson, I am wondering how your son is getting along? Have the paracenteses' given him any relief from the ascites? Were you given any helpful information at the Dec 20 appointment?

@katebw, @footballmum

Hi Rosemary, appreciate the check in. I had Covid for the first time Dec 11 I was out of work for the full 10 days. Mainly to confirm negative test, Before I returned to my Hospitality job.
I was supposed to have another EGD. My throat was too sore for that to
happen. I still have a lingering cough from Dec. Chest X-ray shows lungs are still struggling.
I did not see the specialist. I rescheduled for April.
Also trying to get back into Liver specialist. I will have my 4th CT scan in April to see if the ducts and cysts have done anything.Meanwhile work, work, work.
I have been reading others stories. Praying for those with struggles.
