Hi Rosemary! Thank you for checking in! The left side pain resolved when I slowed down a bit, but the imaging revealed a decrease in blood flow through the hepatic artery. They were unable to place a stent, so they embolized one of the splenic arteries in an attempt to force more blood to the liver. It doesn’t appear to have worked, so the transplant team is planning a surgical revision. Despite that, everything else looked great at my 4 month checkup last week. I am so thankful we caught the hepatic artery stenosis before there was significant damage to my new liver. There are times I forget I’m a transplant patient, at least until my alarm goes off reminding me to take my meds. 😉 I have to say it is nice to be off the prednisone! I so appreciate your insights an encouragement. Thank you for the time you spend supporting the transplant community!
