It wasn’t a smooth 20 years but I thank god because it could have been worse.. I was in an out of the hospital a lot. When I had my first surgery being I was 17 years old, being so young , I struggled with being sick and not healthy like other kids my age. I wanted to be normal. When things were going well I missed meds, didn’t stick to diets that were recommended. After learning about possible rejection I started talking my meds correctly and got a good 8-10 years. My initial diagnosis is schlorosing colongitis. It wasn’t until learning I need a second surgery that I learned PSC can return. This time around I’m more careful and keep up with meds bloodwork everything.

I think your post is a good warning to all of us, thank you for sharing. Life has a way of teaching us lessons, in the case of transplants the lesson is compliance. It is wonderful that you had a second chance. Best to you!
