I lost 100lbs, was in a wheel chair, could not write, my
ammonia levels were also
high and had to have many Paracentesis to treat the ascites (abdominal fluids). We had discussed the TIPS procedure but I was not ready for that. KEEP POSITIVE THINKING and my mother always said to pray for help from my angels, they were only waiting for me to ask.... it didn't hurt! Good luck, there is still the possibility of a great recovery. I was one of the lucky and grateful ones.
