Diabetes and fatty liver - I have been an auditor for years and am still waiting to hear from SS disability so finances have been a worry. I live 30 miles from the nearest hospital and my doctors and have had 5 hospitalizations since December 1. Because I had 2 severe inpatient visits due to hepatic encephalitis with amnesia my doctor said I can't drive originally but now that I'm on Lactulose and Spiractalone, he is allowing me a 5 mile radius with another licensed driver in the car. I live with my 17 year old son who is my caregiver, but he only has his learners permit and is afraid to have me continue teaching him as it scared him greatly when those episodes happened and he's the one that saw it and had to call the ambulance. I'll be going to Jacksonville, FL Mayo Clinic and have to ride on non-emergency transportation.
