@racing212 I am sorry this has happened to you, but on the bright side if you are able to still communicate coherently it must be a relatively minor episode. There is no way I would have been able to communicate well when I was having an HE episode.
I hope your stay will be brief.

@racing212 Oh, dear. Take care and hoping your recover from this quickly.

@racing212, It is going to get crowded in your room because we are all there with you! I hope that you are comfortable.

I have gone to hospital for elevated fevers, but not for HE. What led younto where you are now? Did you go to ER first? What signs/symptoms were you having? Has this been reported to your transplant team at Mayo? (answer when you feel better)

Being the hospital is no fun. My meld score was not very high initially but the secondary issues were tough to deal with. At one point, my amonia level was up to 400 and my doctors were shocked i was coherent. Goes to show how different our bodies react.

Hope to hear hear that you are doing better, perhaps even with a new liver.

I've been waiting almost 3 years for a transplant
