Hey @lynnecp, I wanted to pop in and say a belated welcome. It's great to have both you and @gerryp taking part in the discussions in the Transplants group as caregiver and transplant recipient.

Lynne, I bet you'd have some great tips to add to this discussion:

How are you doing today? It's almost 4 months post transplant?

Good morning. I’m doing GREAT! My 4 month anniversary is June 28th. I have a week of tests at Mayo, and hopefully will begin tapering off some of the drugs I am on.

I never thought I would ever feel this good again. My transplant support friends always assured me I would, but it’s hard to believe when you are so sick, and exhausted from liver disease.

So for all of those still waiting transplant - please know that a liver transplant is an absolute miracle! You will regain good health post-surgery.
