How am I doing?

It's amazing how good I feel! I guess I really needed a new liver since I haven't felt this good in months. I am eating and building my strength everyday. I still get tired easily and I get shooting pain from my nerves growing back but overall I feel good.

Every Monday and Thursday are called my "work days" since I have to get my blood drawn between 7-8am then I attend my support group meeting followed by a clinic appointment where they review my labs from the morning and make any adjustments to my medicine. Clinic visits always freak me out as my lab results have been all over the place and I never know if it's going to be good or bad news. My last clinic appt. on Monday, January 31 had some great news. The counts that they were worried about started to drop and they said I may get to leave San Francisco as early as next week.  I am keeping an open mind since it all depends on my labs results next week.  On Tuesday they are going to take out a stint that is stretching my bile duct since they also removed my gallbladder. That will be an out patient procedure.

My journey will still continue back in Roseville with weekly labs and monthly clinic visits. They also gave me a back to work date of July 5th which seems so long away but they said it will take that long to regain my strength and they want me to be cautious to prevent rejection. Thanks again for all the well wishes, comments and support. It truly keeps me going!!!
