Liver transplant - Let's support each other

Thank you for your warm welcome. It is comforting know that another ex-patient of PSC is doing well after so many years (as you know PSC is not so common when it comes to liver disorders). To answer your question about being home, actually I am not home yet. I am an international patient from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been in Arizona since November 2019, staying with my sister, who lives here. So I have been away from my family about 8 months, wife and 18 year old girl and a 11 year old boy. I plan to go back mid July to reunite with them and come back for my periodic checks. Nonetheless, it was necessary to get this operation done and continue supporting them for the future. Looking forward to conversations in this forum.

@svezir, There are not many of us with PSC so I am equally happy that we have met here on Connect. I hope that your recovery goes as smoothly as mine did. I was away from my home in Kentucky and at Mayo Rochester for 3 months. On post transplant day 21 my husband and I were dischared from outpatient care to begin our drive home. I can assure you that I am going to be thinking about you and the wonderful reunion with your family!
In the meantime, relax and be easy on your body as it heals.
