Liver pre-transplant question

@contentandwell ..my liver disease - cirhossis had kicked in well before I was hospitalized. I had begun to lose my memory, at times my bodily functions and I had very bad jaundice and edema. I didn't have any balance and going up and down stairs I had to pretty much do on my bum. I had one episode when I collapsed and was incoherent and unresponsive for 12 hours. I fell quite a few times and my edema was incredibly bad. One morning my husband could not wake me. When I came to he had called my daughter and they had to force me to get into an ambulance. I dont remember the ambulance ride or anything else for about 6 weeks. My kids never left my side. I'm not even sure to this day of what happened to me. Then i was in and out of hospital and in great pain due to a bleeding ulcer they found in my stomach. Then I suffered from a virus that took me back. They took my license away so since Nov 2016 I have been stuck at home. I live on the outskirts of the city with no bus service and taxis are darn expensive. I am a virtual prisoner here all day. Some days I can read some days I watch Netflix or Britbox. I find it hard to concentrate so I mainly lie down. Even walking in a store wears me out. I try to lead as normal a life as I can but I keep hitting road blocks. I have started drinking tonic water and Powerade to help relieve the cramping. I do have very bad itchiness due to the edema though. I take benadryl sometimes for relief. My family has been of great support but I know they worry about me daily. This disease is taking it's toll. I have not suffered any more HE incidents though. I take A LOT of lactulose daily. The doctors keep telling me I will recieve a liver any time now. Again, thank you for sharing your experiences as they truly help me feel less alone. I'm not sure how to PM you. Rosemarya gave me a link to a post that I read about staying strong for the surgery. It was very helpful. My fingers are cramping so back to resting I go.
