So Proud
I am proud of myself for being a fighter.
About 1.5 months ago, I was diagnosed with extremely severe mononucleosis, caused by Epstein-Barr. My doctors feel that I caught this at work (I work in a place with thousands of people and visitors. It's open-seating. The works).
On Friday, they told me that there is a very real possibility that the virus has compromised my liver. They think that I now may possibly have acute hepatitis and I may have the start of liver failure (yes, mono can cause liver failure).
But I am still a fighter. I have not self-injured because of this news. I have not skipped any sort of medication or pushed myself beyond my limit to make it worse. While it is pretty boring staying in bed all day and maybe being awake 6 hours out of it, I know that this is what my body needs. It is a great lesson in self care.
I am going to beat this thing.

You are so
That is really inspiring. Sometimes life deals you a bad hand, some people fold, but other people stay in the game and win.
You are a strong, otter, u WILL beat this! I have gone into liver failure 3 times, & I fought my way back in an ICU. I now have "normal" liver function, & no residual damage. You can get healthy & strong again, otter. Take care!
