It is serious. There is always the potential for something to go awry when dealing with liver disease and even minor issues. My doctors always take or took a extreme view of anything that popped up, rightfully so in most cases. As indicated by the nurses it's day by day. Possibly a few reasons they may seem apprehensive. We each are individual in treatment (you heard that) and it's very true. That being said he's juggling blood pressure meds or dosages. That in itself makes a big difference, One med can counteract or exaggerate another and I'm assuming he's on a few. Another reason for the seeming confusion is they genuinely don't know whats gonna happen and not to mention it keeps us always on our toes. We need that to keep us from a false sense of invincibility anyhow. Humans are prone to that. Remember tweaking mg's and types of meds is always common and a good indicator they are paying good attention to him.
Nothing is a given. I accepted awhile back that tomorrow isn't guaranteed and I'm just as likely to kill over from something totally unrelated to liver disease. I love my life. It ain't been a fairy tale but it's always been full of love and everything I needed to be happy. I've sprinted past a expiration date a few times now. Don't get me wrong. I ain't looking forward to leaving this world, I've grown quite fond of myself through the last 48 years, regardless of others opinions of me. If nothing else I'll fight to live just for spite
