Need to discuss recovery from overdose

The liver can regenerate, and it's the only internal organ that can. See: Liver regeneration

I know someone who had severe liver damage as a result of alcoholism and several overdoses of liver-damaging drugs, and who has mostly recovered. It took some years, and maybe the most important factor was no more overdoses, including no more alcohol overdoses. Another factor may have been good nutrition, including vitamin supplements prescribed by a doctor. Also many supportive people consistently helping them in practical ways and also creating hope. I'm not aware that they had any very specific treatment.

I once met another person who had severe stomach damage after an apparent suicide attempt, and that required emergency surgery. They recovered completely, both physically and mentally.

I am not an expert on any of this, though. Serious stuff like this really needs expert advice.

@Phthalo

Who "edited" my damn post. I don't even know what they changed, and I'm amused that they thought something in that part was more inappropriate than the word "shit". Jeez 7cups get your act together. I didn't target anyone. This micromanaging is out of hand.

@Phthalo

Careful. You know how this website handles criticism.

Google's cached version doesn't have anything at all where it now says, "[edited for inappropriate language]" Your sentence simply read: "Sorry if this post sounds like a mess or whatever."

@Phthalo

@RarelyCharlie That's super weird then. I wonder who randomly inserted that phrase to make it sound like I said something horrible.

Yes, it does make it look that way. I think I read somewhere that forum edits are now recorded. If I've remembered that correctly, it means that if you send in a complaint someone can trace the person who did it.

@RarelyCharlie @Phthalo

Yes we see this! There was no inappropriate language in our documented history. We will restore the original post and reach out to the forum mentor to see what happened :)
