Liver? I Hardly Know Her.

Problems, problems, problems.

I saw the liver specialist yesterday- bloodwork galore (about 6-8 little test tubes worth), testing for TB, and a warning of the "worst" that could happen, which would be a liver biopsy where they put me under the knife (or some other cutting/piercing device) and splice off a small slab of my liver and do tests on it.

I didn't know the human liver weighs about four pounds. I wonder how much a kidney weighs. Man, if you wanted to lose weight, you've tried everything, and felt desperate, I guess an option for you to explore is to remove organs that you don't necessarily need two of: eyeballs, kidneys, ears, lungs, arms, and legs?

I can picture you now telling the surgeon to remove as much as possible so the scale is lower post-surgery.
