TMI, typing this to explain my absence.

Back before on 12/3/16; I thought I had a stomach bug, I had been feeling too illl for work, vomitting, diarrhea etc. However after vommitting brownish gunk and obviously old bloood clots did me n mum go to the the ER on 12/3. Alll I rememeber was giving blood n urine samples and then phasing into a nap. I didn't "wake up" up the weekend later, waking up monday night 12/7 or 12/8. Apparently mu varscies burst again but unlike last time this was much worse.

Forced for blood transfusion, had thoracentesis AND have it kept as open chest drainage tube, urinary catheter, anal catheter, double PICC lines in both arms, intubation with a mouth/throat tube AND sedation because not only was i in so much pain and losing blood but the ammonia leels in my blood were in the 100s causing mass confusion... normal serum lvls are only 35ish. I was so whacked out of my mind and thrashed for days and i still have injuries on all 4 major limbs n joints... worst of all I terrified my lil neice when she visited. I kept screaming for pain meds and wuld never stop, hence the sedation and the massive weakness when I finally regained myself. But I was so weak, the room kept spinnning slow and everything looked green tinted.
givers post ICU as well as all my friends who kept me in their well wishes when I disappeared. You all know who you are. Love you alll.
Since then I have rebounded very fast and quite well but I am stilll massively weak, able to walk shuffe short distances and still unsteady balance, I need a walker at times, and I am tooo weak to use stairs so I am at home using the guesttroom on the ground floor for now. None of the tubes are left in my save for a smalll suture hole where my chest drainage tube was as welll as where my PICC lines were. I was discharged officially yesterday 12/14 in the afternoon after those couple weeks.

All of this because of my shitty liver.

Good news is one of the physical rehab workers was a classmate I had not seen since highschoool, nearly 13 yrs ago, we totes gonna catch up.

If anyone has any further questions, just ask and I''ll answer best I can.

Also, thank you immensely for the ICU team at Sutter General Hospital in Sacramento, The general nursing team, caregivers and everyone who kept me in their well wishes. You all know who you are. All the love for you guys.
