It's not all about the MELD Score

Great to hear you are doing well and abstaining from alcohol. The lower MELD score is huge. It shouldn't take getting on the transplant list to change one's ways and to start a new life. Human nature is weird that way. Totally eliminate rationalization of good or bad behavior. Live an empirical life. My one-year transplant anniversary is next week and my lab tests are steller.

I didn't even know it was possible to have such a dramatic change in your MELD score. I was put on the list when first diagnosed with a MELD score of 26. I didn't drink and followed a regime set out by my transplant team. My score just continued to rise and had my transplant 7 months ago. Shows how we are all so different in our journey.
