I wish I would’ve known a lot more information before I had my liver transplant 2 years ago there are many factors getting one and even getting on a waiting list. I was at USC/Keck hospital in Los Angeles and they are awesome. I was considered near death and stage 4 kidney failure and I waited 4 months any longer I wouldn’t have been here. I was going to write a book about it someday

I’m glad you’re doing well… It’s definitely a lot to take in… So far I’ve been pretty healthy… Feeling okay…. A little swelling in my feet and legs and the yellowing in my eyes… but for the most part I’m feeling okay… Which is a blessing …

@pgruetz, Isn't it great to have trust and admiratation for your transplant team? We would not be here without them. They are the heroes among us!

After your difficult pre transplant, I read that you are now 2 years post liver transplant. That now makes you an expert...an expert by experience. What is something that you wish that you had known before your own transplant that others might benefit from?
