why do IT people insist on internet communication?

I was never a beer drinker. It was pointless to me. Went in yellow and foamy. Came out yellow and foamy. I didn't see where I was doing anything with it. Now that my liver is precariously poised, I can't have any liquor at all. But I don't miss it.

Guinness isn't yellow, and tastes far better than "yellow" beer.

Now that my liver is precariously poised, I can't have any liquor at all..

Richard,


I once asked my doctor about drinking those 12 shots at once on an occasional basis and how it would affect my liver and he told me that I had nothing to worry about because the liver is a self recovering organ, and as long as I wasn't doing it on a daily basis I was safe from cirrosis of the liver. I'm not sure I was ever convinced.

True, the liver CAN heal. But folks with Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis (NASH, they call it) must lay off the alcohol so the liver CAN heal. I wasn't a drinker before anyway, but in this case alcohol would interfere with the healing.

I wish my kidneys could heal!

I hoped for a long time that my prostate would heal, but it took a bit of surgery to take care of my BPH. I had a TURP. Those are both common enough medical terms that you should be able to figure them out. Hint: A "TURP" is also colloquially known as a "Roto-Rooter" job. Go ahead and cringe if you wish. I did when that was first recommended.

Then of course everyone knows why beer goes through you so fast. It does not have to stop at the kidneys to change color.

I've had the prostate biopsy (12) cores, so yeah the cringe factor is at a 12

doc man,
I will not be visiting you in Dec. I have a neck injury from my visit in Guadalajara. I have canceled my LA meeting to stay home for doctor treatments.
