@runninglykos, This is certainly good news! Lisa, I think that you deserve congratulations for taking good care of yourself so that your liver and kidney are happy I am confident that you will continue to maintain your healthy habits, as well as be alert for any questionable signs. Mayo is a good place, and I have full trust in their judgement, and am confident that if you need to go back to them for evaluation, that they will welcome you and guide you through whatever you will need.
Will you be seeing a local doctor or specialist for any followup or monitoring? Do you have any immediate plans for your future: return to job? begin a new career?

I see why you are a Mentor! Your words of encouragement and acknowledgment is so calming and helpful. Thank you for the congrats on trying to do my best to stay healthy. I was thinking I am not doing enough and I should have seen a better improvement from 14 to 12 on my MELD. I expect a lot sometimes 🙂 I am still with my liver specialist at Banner University and my Primary care takes care of things that my liver doctor said to me were below her scope 🙂 I get liver scans every 6 months like clockwork, along with labs and anything else they tell me to do. Those pesky complication's come with me, I am disabled and could no longer work in my career field, titanium cage in my neck from a fusion, 2 herniated discs in my back, with stenosis of the spine compressed nerves and other fun stuff. Medications I could take for my spine are no longer allowed because of my liver. So my future plan is to be a survivor, to live the rest of my life clean and sober and enjoy that feeling healthy, and to help anyone I can on this journey or the journey to sobriety.
