...chronicling my mother's battle to live with liver disease and raising awareness of hepatic encephalopathy, together.

Oh, now I get it...

Figured out why the HE monster is coming out to wreak havoc lately. Mom hasn't been entirely med compliant. She's been only taking kristalose and not miralax, so she hasn't been having any BMs. Poop is our life around here, and it's a really big deal when she doesn't clear out the poisonous ammonia.

She is currently unable to speak to me without biting off my head, so I'm going to a BBQ and she is no longer invited.

If she doesn't start taking her meds and clearing out the ammonia, she'll get worse until she starts calling cops or speaking gibberish, and we'll have to have another trip to the ER. Let's hope we don't have to go there.
