A look inside me.

Well, what I used to be.

The images below are of my former liver, the damage of thirty years of Viral Hepatitis C (HCV).

The images are graphic, so please be warned now, they are unlike anything I have ever posted before.

These images are of me and as such I am the original owner and retain the rights to circulate the images as I see fit. If you would like to borrow the imagery, please ask.

In honor of National Donate Life month, This is why i needed a transplant liver.






This was my liver's limit.

This is what a healthy liver should ideally look like:

  2. Thank you,
    In my entire life I've had half a glass of champagne, it was to toast the first of one of my close friends getting married.

    I like to pick my moments.

    Wedding and babies? me? I've got a few things I need to do first, but I sure as heck can't wait to be a dad someday.

  3. Mr. Nash,

    You sure seem to wring a great deal of satisfaction from what I would describe as buzzard luck. I'm going to keep my eye on you.

  8. Hey Rick! I’ve never posted on any blog, so bear with me please... I’m 28 And was just diagnosed 2 days ago with Hep C... I’m terrified, as I have literally no support network... No one around me is truly understanding how debilitating the aches, pains, and depression is all of the time... I had no idea the reason I was so emotionally unstable had so much to do with the Hep C until I started researching... I’ve had to have had this disease for a very long time thinking back to when these symptoms first began... I’m not sure why I’m writing this, I have a few questions to ask, but I saw you had posted on someone else’s forum about Hep C and saw the encouragement and kindness you were showing them, and I figured maybe it’s time I find a support group of some sort... I have no mother or father (they’re both out using somewhere, as well as my sister) and so I’m all alone and terrified... I go for labs today... and I see a specialist coming up in the next few weeks... Are there any specific questions I should ask? Thank you for your time... Keep up the good fight! You have to be one of the strongest people to keep shedding love and positive vibes the way you do! Thanks again
