Liver transplant - Let's support each other
Transplants | Last Active: 4 hours ago | Replies (1567)Comment receiving replies
I am a recent liver transplant patient ( March 10,2019 . You could experience a lot of things that you might think are not related to liver disease but are, like severe itching , rashes , weight loss just to name a few. My best advice to tell you is do what the doc tells you. Buy into the process it will be hard somedays, but stay the course, stay active as I worked for 4 hours on the day they wanted me to go to the hospital. Most of all stay positive that you will be blessed with a transplant . Even if you don’t get one at least your loved ones have good memories. I wish everyone could get the gift of life as I did. Good luck with the journey. Also if you can research life after transplant some as that ride is awesome and scary all in one.

mego2k, thank you for the info. I feel overall fine and stay active. I'm looking forwards to starting my evaluation journey at the MAYO in Phoenix next week, as my creatine level was 3.5 today. Unless told otherwise I will have Fistula Surgery in a couple of weeks and begin dialysis. I've been to numerous Las Vegas Doctors and Hospitals until finally it became obvious to me that I needed to be at a more comprehensive facility. I'm good at following Doctors orders with the Caveat that they Explain and not pontificate.
