Pre transplant I had some emotional downs but on one of many short hospitalizations to get my ammonia levels back down, I saw the hospital psychiatrist who gave me a med to help my emotions level out.
At the time of my transplant I was down to about 10 percent liver function—or so I was told. That is just about 21 years ago! Even though we humans can handle a lot alone it helps if you have a little hand-holding, the right med, or a surprise human angel along this path.

@tulsa72 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

Congratulations on your liver transplant! 21 years is a long time. And you're so very right. We aren't meant to go it all alone. Knowing that someone cares makes all the difference.
