Just to say.

Thanks again to you all. And I just wanted to reassure others if it does happen to anyone else (rejection), the doctors are totally on the ball. I am not going to lie for a few days I was shit scared I think it was more the fact I have felt so good last few months it shook me to the core, I now realise I completely dismissed some of the warning signs such as itching, dark urine, light stools, tiredness and loss of appetite and that all happened in the space of two weeks, I feel like I missed the dots so thank God for the blood tests and how closely the consultants keep an eye on us. I am all good again mentally and happy with the progress my tablets have all been increased dramatically but over time they will taper them to find the correct level for me as of course we are all different. So to anyone worried it may happen to them, have faith I found out 99% of the time they can resolve with iv steroids and increase in medication, just be aware of signs and don't feel daft or mithersome asking or speaking to doctors about anything. Hope your all as well as can be and again thank you again for all your support it really helped me get through this bump in the road xxx

Well said. We all need to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us. I'm the worst for it. I listen but then justify it to myself and don't do anything. Except right now my body is telling me to cook bacon 🥓 and put it inbetween some bread 🍞

Well if that's what my bodies telling me.

Out of interest guys, what did you pack? I'd need a skip to take luggage for 10 days 😂

Pj's, wash bag, towels, cream for dry skin, vaseline for lips as air so dry. A book for when you come round from anaesthetic after a few days and I didn't take much else as if I needed friends or family brought it in x

I had packed packed, got the call about 3am and was actually waiting ready when was picked up, but it didn't happen and was back by 8pm next evening, unpacked thinking to wash every thing next day, a couple of hrs later got call again, panic! Chucked all in a bag and next am after all tests why have you brought too many personal papers and things, mind you I do live by myself , I do laugh now at some of the things I chucked in.
