Welcome, @lalvarez. Is that a drum kit I see in your profile picture?
What a testimonial to your decision to get a liver transplant. It sounds like you prepared yourself as best as possible. None-the-less, until you go through a transplant, how can you really know what to expect.
What was more than you expected pre-op? Post-op? What tips would you offer to someone about to embark on this journey?

Hello Colleen, thank you for responding back to me.
My journey was a very difficult decision. I ultimately decided to do it for my family. If I was alone, I probably would have rode off into the sunset. I also decided to do it for myself eventually. I’m a retired teacher and musician. The transplant made my retirement sooner than I expected. I’m now thinking of returning to teaching. This incredible gift I received from this donor has changed my life. I will forever be grateful.
