Last fall the Dr. Told a friend that he didn't expect me to live until april. I fooled him its a year later and im still going strong. My meld score went up back in September.

@racing212, Good for you!
Don't you hate to hear those kinds of comments? I can clearly remember hearing disaster stories from some people while I was waiting and struggling with my awful symptoms. I chose not to listen to them.
I am so happy for you that you are going strong even with a rising MELD. Keep on doing what you are doing and following the advice of your medical team. And congratulations on the relief from ascites and those paracentesis procedures. (I had to use that word because I. too, had many of them. And I even learned how to spell it!)
Over all, How are you feeling? Do you have nausea or tiredness? Do you have any idea why the fluids are not building us now?

@racing212 I found out after my transplant that my husband and sister didn’t think I was going to make it. When I discovered that I wondered if the hepatologist and her NP that I had prior to transplant thought that too because when they visited me in the hospital they were both so excited!
