Liver transplant - Let's support each other

I have a strong support system in place. My wife has been a rock and her sons are there for me whenever I need something. My neighbors have also told me they will be there for me, all I need to do is ask. Thank you for taking the time to write me back. A lot of people know of my condition, having said that, they really do not understand the physical and emotional affects on me. Unfortunately most people hear cirrhosis or liver disease and they automatically think I am a drunk and did this to myself. Mine was caused by a prescription medication. I will check out the link, thanks for sharing it.

Hello. In October 2022 it will b 2 yr anniversary for my liver transplant. Then in June of last yr, I had a hernia repair.So I guess to say I went thru heaven and hell and thankfully back to heaven. When I told some people of my transplant they looked so surprised! Yes u r right it is a disease that is stigmatized
Almost makes u embarrassed to tell people u had one...no I did not drink..no I did not do drugs .no I did not have hepatitis.it was nash undiagnosed for years and it kept getting worse n worse top of that my doctor ignored my symptoms for years. Now I tell everyone and am so proud. My medical team at Mt.Sinai was and is remarkable. Hang in there they know what they r doing. U will b fine. God bless u ....jackie
