So glad your wife is over the worst of things.

If it's any consolation she is not alone. My husband had his transplant 3 years ago then had a stroke 1 year ago.

He was lucky in that it only affected his peripheral vision. He is now registered partially sighted.

I do wonder if there is some link between liver transplant or transplant in general and a stroke?

Have any other forum members had this sort of experience?

Glad you are both keeping well and getting back to normal.

Hi Dave,

Not been on here for a little while...how is your wife recovering from her 2nd liver transplant and her stroke? I know the op was a while ago but been thinking of her. If you don't want to reply no problem or maybe send me a private message.

Sending your wife and family best wishes Nicki x

Hi just come across the post - a bit late- I had liver transplant 19 months ago. I had to have 2 as the first one failed almost immediately then about 2 weeks later - still in iTunes- had a couple of strokes- cerebellum - and I was

Unconscious for about three Months. I eventually was on a ward and slowly at rehab for six weeks I went home six months after transplant . I considered elf unlucky to have a stroke buy lucky to have a life saving transplant . I have gradually recovered over the last year and have mobility problems and some visual difficulties. But I know the transplant saved my life and am very grateful for that - the strokes were just a problem that I have tried hard to overcome and getting there. Good luck to your wife I know I appriciTe everything my I husband and children have done and still doing for me. Good luck xx
