  Introducing the Living Donor Page: Beginning a Different Kind of Conversation

  Today, I’m sharing something personal and important. I’ve added a new Living Donor page to my website — a space where I talk openly about the next chapter of my transplant journey and what it means to explore the possibility of a living liver donor. This isn’t an easy thing to write about, and it’s definitely not something I take lightly. But I’ve learned that honesty creates connection, and connection creates possibility. So I’m beginning the conversation with clarity, humility, and hope. If you’re curious about what living donation actually involves, or you simply want to understand more about where I am in this process, I’ve put everything in one place - clear information, resources from my transplant team, and a personal note from me. There’s no pressure, no expectations. Just an invitation to learn, to share, or to hold me in your thoughts as I keep moving forward. You can read the full post and explore the new page here: ohmyliver.com Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Truly.

  Oh! My Liver! Episode 2 – Sweet Emotions

  Cirrhosis may be chronic, but our coping mechanisms are chaotic. In this theatrically charged episode, Scott and Will dive into the emotional roller coaster of liver disease - from brain fog and bloating to rage-quitting Netflix and sobbing over toast. Featuring dramatic sketches like Symptom Spiral Theatre and As the Liver Turns, plus parody monologues in The Cirrhotic Monologues, this episode blends absurdity with empathy to explore how cirrhosis affects mood, memory, and identity. With laughter as medicine and the theatre as metaphor, Sweet Emotions reminds us that not every symptom is a Shakespearean tragedy… but some deserve a standing ovation.
