Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@contentandwell 3 weeks was long for an HE episode and the lingering effects was 3 months. My last MELD score before transplant was 30. After the initial transplant they found the artery from my liver to my heart was kinked. I had an angioplast to correct it but it splintered the artery and I had to have a 2nd surgery 2 weeks later.
Some of my blood work is not trending and I had to have another CT Scan today. So...not out of the woods yet.

@gaylea1 That must have been really terrible, to be somewhat incognizant for so long. I do know that some people really are not totally cognizant through the whole ordeal so cannot drive. My episodes were fairly predictable, I either woke up with one, or had a really bad stomach ache first. If I was out and my stomach hurt at all I dashed home, just in case, but generally, it was just a plain old stomach ache. Better to be safe though.
I am so happy for you that things are so much better now, and I hope that the upcoming blood work and today's CT will be good. I will be looking forward to hearing that you are celebrating that all is well.
