[Sundae]

Had my latest blood test results yesterday,
Almost all in the normal range - one at the high end of normal, but showing an increase (good) since the last test.

The important enzyme is still too high.
But it started at 400. Now 148. Needs to go down to 50-60.
Quite dramatic progress shown. Fair enough. More work to be done. Doc doesn't feel I need I need another test for 6 months unless I go on a significant bender.

Almost all minor symptoms absent now - bowels reasonable (eating habits - meh), no nosebleeds, no more nausea or bloating or severe abdominal pain.

As per the apprehensive post though, it may all have been for nothing.
Which doesn't belong in the Happy Thread.
But then this is not about papering over the cracks any more, this is about staying alive.
Doc says if I get my enzymes down to 60 my liver can be classed as recovered.
But it does rely on abstinence, probably for life.

I had no idea how close that bullet came.
