The “pussy cat” case reminded me of the time I had to go to court over a theft charge when I was like 19. Long story short, we took the neighbors entire contents of the freezer, cops came and made us give it back. It was supposed to be a joke (drunk joke but WHATEVER lol). College town, college housing. The only thing we didn’t give back was these 2 large frozen slabs of salmon. Like they caught these fish and froze the whole fish. Well, we were drunk so the only logical thing we did was sword fight with the frozen slabs before the cops came…at that point they were demolished & we couldn’t return them. Well the neighbors pressed charges over that. We are in court and they read the “victim impact statement” claiming emotional distress because the dead salmon slabs apparently had “sentimental value”. I literally had to turn my back to the judge because I couldn’t hold my laughter, nor could most people in the courtroom. I still have questions to this day…like once the salmon was consumed, were they going to save the shitted out salmon since it had such sentimental value? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to tell this story when getting a job, applying for apartments because of the theft charge. Good times 😂 RIP Sammy The Salmon 🐟

[@kristinaLeeLee]

I couldn't imagine possibly ruining some young kids life over fish. It was a silly jock. They didn't find it funny, clearly, so you'd think they'd be upset, but pressing charges?! That's nuts! I've pulled some stupid pranks while drinking, so maybe I'm just a little more understanding?😂

Mom sounds medicated. My guess is benzos and opiates. If her medical diagnosis is true, then she probably is prescribed both. Furthermore, she shouldn't be unsupervised with a child on those meds either.

[@rustynails8756]

I believe you are correct. I know transplant patients need to prove several months of sobriety to qualify for a transplant. It's an expensive procedure and there are a limited number of donors so they want transplant patients to have a high probability of success

[@HabrenOdinsdottir]

I have been on opiates and benzos for over 12 years. If you take them as prescribed, really truly, you should be fine. I raised my son during those years and worked 50 hour weeks and went to University for BA.

I worked with a guy like that when I was a postal worker in the early 00s. Probably in his 50s, but he looked in his 70s. He wasn't drunk on the job. But he was so ruined by abusing alcohol and drugs that it didn't matter. Every word was slurred, he couldn't form cogent sentences, and the supervisor wouldn't let him touch a fork truck or move a cage of parcels. But he showed up on time every day and at some point he passed the scheme test. And then at the end of the shift, he tried to get everyone to follow him to the strip club for breakfast. Eggs and a beer, with a side of staph infection.

Liver failure causes increased ammonia in the blood stream which can affect level of consciousness. I didn’t lol at the video but that could explain her affect. Super sad when we see such young people that have fried their liver on alcohol.

[@kellizafer9828]

My mom had non-alcoholic cirrhosis and when her ammonia was up her speech could be slurred and she would be very lethargic, among a host of other symptoms that might be confused for intoxication. But she never touched alcohol in her life. So I'm not inclined to judge her.

[@kristineTD]

It’s possible that she’s drunk; her affect could also be a result of liver disease symptoms. Late stage liver failure causes hepatic encephalopathy…the liver can't filter toxins, so they build up in the blood and affect the brain, causing confusion, disorientation, drowsiness, slurred speech, etc. My 29-year old cousin went through liver failure (not alcohol related) and passed away recently…

My father was an alcoholic and the State of California would not put him on a transplant list until he was sober for a determined length of time, I am not sure how long. I don't think that any person with a need for a transplant should get one if they are the cause of the need.

[@barbott5941]

It’s not just that. If she’s going to continue to drink, her other meds that she needs to take for the rest of her life, more than likely, won’t work either. That makes her liver transplant useless, when it could have gone to better use with a person, who doesn’t drink, to give that person a longer life expectancy.

[@rachel1760]

Idk if she’s been drinking, but I do know there could be another reason besides alcohol she may appear not sober. Doctors prescribe benzodiazepines (like Xanax) to help the withdrawal process due to how dangerous it can be to withdrawal from alcohol. She could be on something like that.

[@sabrinanicole758]

Slurred speech can be a symptom of hepatic encephalopathy: when the liver fails to get rid of toxic substances they cross the barrier into your brain and cause damages. The early stages have similar symptoms to when you are drunk.

[@Bevaboo]

That, plus her not wanting to use the BACtrack makes me think she's still drinking.

[@HeavenlyiceDream]

As a liver recipient, I'll add a few things. While on the list, they check for alcohol, many drugs and to make sure you are correctly taking your prescribed meds. She's partially correct in that.

[@alif7903]

As another liver recipient, that’s 100% correct. And if she’s suffering from ammonia toxicity due to liver failure causing her slurring, she should be supervised.

[@scottkanzelmeyer4474]

You could be right. I don't know the medical term for it but essentially your body can't process ammonia and you could get "ammonia brain." They have me on two different drugs that deal with that issue. One is supposed to help prevent recurrence, but I've never had it, so that is being given as a prophylactic. The other helps bind the ammonia so that you eliminate it in a form other than the normal way a functioning liver eliminates it.

[@amb865]

Alcohol dementia, related to all the accumulated ammonia

My dad was an alcoholic, doctors told him he had cirrhosis of liver when I was 11, he went through VA program twice, quit for few weeks, month but always started again, he was an engineer & worked till Us girls were 16, 17, 18. The doctor passed but my Dad lived till I was 28. Then passed from heart they said. I’m 64 now. She probably has cirrhosis, they didn’t offer transplants way back with my Dad, just told him he would pass in 5 years if he kept drinking! She sounds drunk but no way if she’s going for a blood panel today!

[@scottkanzelmeyer4474]

I am likely to need a liver myself in the not too distant future. Remember that alcohol is not the only possible cause for cirrhosis. In my case, I suspect a combination of things that included alcohol. Prior to my diagnosis, I was beginning to get the feeling that I would still be buzzed the following day after I would get drunk. Probably was an indication that my liver was having issues. Eligibility rule number one for a transplant is that you can't drink. I guess I'm lucky that I don't have an addictive personality so that when they told me to stop drinking, I simply stopped. it's been well over a year and I haven't had a drop and have no overwhelming desire to have a drink. Would be nice if I could have a glass of champagne with my wife at New Year or a beer on my birthday, but I can't, so I don't. Agree that she looks very young for needing a transplant. I would guess I'm something like 20 years older. Doctors are very careful about what they prescribe for liver patients. I can't even take OTC pain killers.

@@scottkanzelmeyer4474 I’m sorry to hear about your liver disease. Yes, people don’t realize that cirrhosis of the liver can have a variety of causes.
