Gaylea, It is nice to hear from you. I do wish the circumstances were different, but they will be soon.
I admire your attitude and new mantra! My belief is that it be the strength that your body needs to keep recovering. My husband and i were told to expect 'bumps' along the way, and that is how we always look at any complicating factor. I have learned that sometimes what is a major thing for me, is actually a routine procedure for the experts. So even if something comes out with unexpected results they know how to proceed.

How do you feel now? Are you able to get out of bed while waiting for the next ERCP?
I wish I could come by and sit with you for a while, I thing we would have lots to talk about! Have you ever heard anything from @parmcat about the liver transplant support group he was starting? That would be so convenient for you.

If you want some good, non-transplant conversation to occupy your mind and promote your positivity, I recommend the following discussions. Both are in Just Want to TaltkDiscussions:
-Gratitude Discussion Group - I think you will already know some of the members

-Art for Healing

I look forward to your next update. Hugs and prayers.
