Newly (liver) transplanted…

My 4 month is scheduled for may…along with a stint placement. 😢. But I’m doing this as brave as possible. Steroids were awful to my emotions. But I’m tapered down now and doing better. I’ll cry a lot. Sometimes just thankful tears. Sometimes fear endured tears. Sometimes angry and unfair tears and sometimes tears I don’t even know why will fall. I definitely plan to speak with them but I feel ok this far all things considered. I’m so blessed when I take a step back. I just really dislike procedures and testing and those bring my emotions to the front. I know they are for my health, but I’m worn out. I will put on my tuff face and move forward. But not tell you it’s easy. Congratulations to you on your health and wellness PT! It’s so great to hear success stories!!! Makes me feel good knowing it gets better.

@kowalskik, I understand your dislike for procedures, and I sense from your comments that you are accepting that they just have to happen in order to move forward. I agree with the words that @myfablife 'has shared, "It will get better."

I had a stent prior to my transplant, and it slipped out of place for whatever reason, and was removed and never replaced. But I was very ill then, and don't remember the details. Do you have a stent in place now? Is it a definite decision that you will have to have one?
