The Wife came home tonight, a bit later than normal, but that's a whole 'nother story. But she was asking how I was feeling today, my confusion and etc. Of course, I answered truthfully, because in a small way, I am worried about the encephalopathy thing. I don't know if I mentioned, I have given up my keys pretty much now. The Youngest or Wife will have to drive me any where I want or need to go. I do feel like my head has cleared up more, and the Wife I looked 'brighter' - like I was more in touch with my consciousness and everything. I told her I had followed the medication as indicated, and again I was reminded to ask the pharmacist next time if it is able to be flavored. A cherry would be wonderful. In the meantime, it is sort of like drinking sugar mixed with water in a thick mixture. Ugh.
Tonight the Post is having a Taco Night for proceeds to go to the NYE party. I want to go. I did say I knew my friend S made them, and she makes them good. It is like 3 for $8, or a combo with beans and rice for $10. I would invite people from my AA group, but the Post has a canteen, so probably would not go well for some people.
It's now about 2:30a, and I am awake. I just could not sleep with the air pressure pump called my anus, pumped 10-second farts that reek. Trust me, the pooping part will come later in the morning. For now, I have spent the past afternoons and evenings just ripping one after another off in the office. Youngest says he doesn't smell them. Small favor!! Wife has been a bit sick (coughing/chest/throat) and says the same. So I am the lucky one that gets to smell them all night until I sleep, as well as all afternoon. With the medication dosage increased, they want to see me going at least 4-5 times per day, the texture, the color. Just really involved with my excrement.
Thursday marks two weeks since the started the insurance verification for me. Another transplant patient I know, said they like to stretch it to the last day (today). So will I hear anything? Here's hoping!
And I am out of here..... because I am still not sure the Wife is qualified for the medical questions she asks, since she is a PT.
