Yes, I was at the "big hospital" for all of one day.  I had a lot of test work done and a consult with the Gastro clinic and was sent home.  I am supposed to have another liver biopsy this week but have not recieved any notification yet. Though my liver enzymes were very high, they didn't think I needed hospitalized yet.  And that suits me just fine! I cannot have anymore meds containing Tylenol and am on a very strict diet now.  I have to go to the local clinic here for vitamin B and thiamine shots every week.  Actually, I'm starting to feel almost normal again!

All in all, it seems like it was "much ado about nothing".  But then again, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks!

I was so glad to see you posted. As I  was also wondering how you are and must have missed so posts with your update. know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am getting ready to sign up for the new forum as I am thinking maybe that is where I am missing somethings as they are being posted there. Keep us posted. And please let us know when this week you will be going in the hospital. Glad to hear though that you are feeling better:)

May you find peace

Thanks you for your kind considerations!  Actually I haven't posted much lately so you didn't miss anything new.  I was pretty depressed last week but things are getting better.  I was switched to MS Contin and the first couple of days on it left me pretty weak.  Too bad you can't cut the pills in half. They are extended release pills. J.B.

Wow they really did put you through the ringe.  I am so happy to hear that you are ok.  Your posts really had me kind of scared I am not sure how they can tell you that you are in liver failure one day, not put you in the hospital, put you through the red tape and then here you are!!!  I guess we should count these blessings blindly !!

This has been kind of a pain in my ass.  About a year ago when I went in for alcohol detox, they kept me for four days in the hospital. Now with a clearly failing liver, I'm okay to go home!  Maybe they are just fed up with me?  Hell, less than ninety days ago I was in the hospital for a total of eleven days due to sepsis and cellulitis and was supposedly 24 hours away from death.  Well, I'm still here and feeling pretty good at this moment, thank you!  J.B.
