Hi Kate, I'm 15+ years post liver transplant, which was done as an emergency because of a med I was on. I was going to retire after the transplant, however found I had better work due to finances and insurance. 7 months after my transplant, at age 58 I went to work in a new town doing a new job. I was weak at the time, but I think the job helped me to ragain a normal (well almost normal) life. I worked 40 hrs a week, learning new procedures and found so much support at my new job, it was well worthwhile. At 73 years old I'm still working for the same company, I've been promoted several times and I'm grateful for my gift of life, and my job each and every day! Yes I have some bad days, but the good days make up for the bad. Best of luck to you, but think about the positives (and there are so many), as they helped me feel more like a normal person.
