Alcohol Withdrawal Program Required for Transplant

The last I knew, my meld score was 14. When I was diagnosed, it was 7. It wasn't long before I had 2 more bacterial infections in my blood and it shot up and then settled back down to 11 or 12. I had another infection and went to the hospital just this past Thanksgiving Day. I think it had settled down at 14 after that? I don't know for sure as timing in my head is way off. I think something was a week ago and my husband tells me it was 2 days ago. I must be a real joy to live with! LOL

Yes my meld score was much higher, that is why you have labs so often to help get you on the TP list.
I hope you can find someone to help give you a break/some help. I also see your dealing with other medical issues to, I know that is not easy either. I am glad you have your husband to lean on.
Again I wish you the best I know it’s hard.

@itsme623, Before my transplant, I was also hospitalized and/or treated with medications on several occasions. I can understand how confusing it can be. Although I did not have any HE episodes, I think that I had more than my fair share of end stage liver symptoms. And so I want to share something that helped me mentally was to keep a note book available where I wrote down dates and events (medical and personal). I found it also helpful to make short notes of symptoms and questions for my doctor.
I am wondering if there is anyone who can help you with that stack of paperwork?
