Thank you for your reply. This site looks like a real saver for me since the
Only one to talk to was my doctor and some of the liver team members. My
Hospital is in NY and I am in Jersey so
It takes some planning ahead. Thanks
Again. Jackie

@jackie421blfdgurl, I am in Kentucky and my transplant Center in in Minnesota (750 miles). I can understand how the distance and travel planning can complicate things. I rely on my local primary care doctor who is willing to work in cooperation with my Transplant team at Mayo in MN.
Like you, I found myself at home and alone in a world on non-transplant family and friends. I find great comfort and companionship in the interaction with others who are like me on Connect. I enjoy learning from each other and supporting each other. I hope that you will feel the same.
I am sharing a link to some immunosuppressant medicine and side effects for you to look at. It is going to be your doctors who regulate and advise you about your meds.

When is your MRI? Is it local? or do you need to travel to the transplant center?
What is the status of your swelling and pain?
