Welcome to the forum. Sounds like he is having an episode of hepatic encephalopathy (HE.) Hugs, Connie...
I overslept. Only had 3 hours' sleep and had to get up at 5. I completely slept through the alarm. Didn't wake up until 1:30 PM. The van left me a no-show notice on my door. I will take cabs...
Was at Mayo today for labs and Wound Care. Since there is no infection, there is nothing that Wound Care can do, and is leaving it up to my TC and hep doc to order HH. There really is no need, except...
Casrol, I'm sure that's much more comfortable for Mike than the contraption he had last time. It sounds like he is doing well. Happy dance. :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: Hugs, Connie...
Unfortunately, we have not seen mummy again, so I suspect that she has relapsed and struggling with getting and staying sober. I do wish she had gotten treatment or at least gone to AA. She cannot do...
Syxx, thanks for the update. I am sorry you are in so much pain. You said at the entry site, but did they take bone from there? They often take it from the hip or other area of bone, to use in...

So glad Mike is returning to his old good self and that his pain is minimal. Does he have that shoulder brace thing he had previously? Hugs, Connie...
I should be here unless I'm down the hall doing laundry. Hugs, Connie...
Carol, as you can imagine, that wsa a real disappointment to me, as I feel that may have been my only chance to beat the HCV and to survive much longer. Everything I have going on now is somehow...
Carol, I would try sending it to her there...maybe to the Personell Office. Hopefully, they will forward it to her. Hugs, Connie...
Zo, Xifaxan, Xifaxan, Xifaxan. It ain't that difficult. I agree to continue taking your meds. Your doc is obviously keeping an eye out for HCC. They used to check mine every 3 months, alternating...
They also want me to have labs again Mon. AM, prior to Wound Care. If things have not improved, the hep doc will be the one to admit me. No action necessary by me. I do have to set someone up for the...
A big day at Mayo, starting with Transplant Coordinator RN and hepatologist. As mentioned, they hadn't seen my legs until today. The doctor was pushing for me to go into the hospital today. I managed...
