I am a Mayo Clinic liver transplant. They were incredible. I broke my back January of 2011. Healed at Mayo, could not have surgery because of condition of liver. Spent many weeks laying flat. I went home with a brace. Right after I had the brace removed I fell at my home and fractured the ball of my hip. Back to Mayo. Had to have surgery and physical therapy. Recovered and went home with stitches down my leg. Before the stitches could be removed the call came that a liver had been found. Surgery was successful! After almost 6 months of in and out of Mayo, I went home. Mayo was there for me every step of the way to finally being well and they are there for me now.

Wow @karen51, that is quite the story. You sure were not kind to yourself with all the breaks. You said that Mayo is there for you now. Are you referring to transplant follow-up or are you returning for a new health issue?
