I have a "funky liver." I was diagnosed in 2010 with a condition called NASH liver and cirrhosis. I couldn't understand why I had cirrhosis when I've never been a drinker. So after putting off the transplant evaluation for a year, I hit a rough spot and wound up in the hospital several times due to Hepatic encephalopathy. Basically, my liver stopped removing the toxins from my blood, and they built up in my brain. Kind of makes me a little nutty I guess (more than usual I'm told). So now I'm just hanging out, waiting to move up on the transplant list, and sharing some experiences, stories, and resources with you.
You've seen pictures of Shiloh here on the blog before, but now you get to see him in all his weird glory--being the dork he is. He loves to play with his brown squeaky bone, but sometimes he rolls on it and the floor to scratch his back. Of course, he looks more like he's in the middle of some kind of spastic fit! Rolling and twisting around, all four legs flailing in the air. And he will eventually return to the upright position. But it seems like he's stuck on his back and can't get rolled over--couldn't be further from the truth! He's just being Shiloh. I've tried for a couple of days to get him to do it for a video, but couldn't get it. Finally, here is a short snippet of the little goof . . .
