I caught Michelle in the middle of a massage from her mom tonight, trying to find some pain relief. Seems not much came out of her appts today, just another appt for tomorrow. But at least she's meeting with her liver specialist, he seems to get the final say these days. Hopefully they will come up with something for her pain management. At this point they don't want her to take any pain medication due to side effects and how hard it is on her body. Anyone who's had a 9 out of 10 rating on the pain charts knows that it would not be easy to endure this day in and out. Yet she still manages to have the odd laugh, and care about how others are doing. That's our Michelle : )
I have all my fingers and toes crossed that you find relief from your pain, that you can start to eat without being in agony, and that you get your brand new shiny liver soon.

This is a blog for my amazing friend Michelle Way who is fighting the battle of a lifetime. Michelle has Wilson's disease, a debilitating genetic disease that affects the body's ability to process copper. Overtime internal organs can become damaged, and in Michelle's case her liver is failing. Michelle was officially placed on the transplant list in November 2008; and after a long wait finally received a live-donor transplant on February 16th, 2010!
