Update

Wow!! You are doing so well, you've shown such strength of character. Your friends and family must be so proud of you as I'm sure everyone is on here, it must be such a big ordeal. I can understand how you feel about your donor family . All these people are so brave as you all are on here. I'm not at the transplant stage yet but my consultant said I will need one one day

You have all been so kind to me and have helped so much and put my mind at rest when I've been so worried about everything. I'm luck to have such wonderful people on here as well as friends and family. Love and hugs to you and your family

Wonderful news. Wishing you all the very best for a continued recovery. Well done.

Well done too to the transplant team.

What a gift from the donor and family.

You seem to be doing really well indeed. My partner is just over 2 years post xplant & I still find it amazing that he is so well. Healthier than me probably. The words for the letter to the donor family will come & bring comfort I hope. We sent one post op & another on the first & second anniversary. Keep up the good work of staying well as that is also testament to the donor.xx

Hi Huw,

Seems your doing really well, good to hear. I’m a couple of months ahead of you but I haven’t gone back to work yet. I got a car and started driving again and had a weekend away in Merseyside watching saints lose which was a big step to go away.

It sure is a journey that we all go through.

Well done Huw you’ve done amazingly well. Your family and friends must be so proud.

Really glad you are doing so well. There must be so many mixed emotions; it's a huge life changing event not only for you but of course for your family and the donor's family. May you continue to recover and I hope you'll soon be fully fit and enjoying life to the full. xx

Glad it’s fine. I was amazed how I had no pain either. I found going back to work daunting but it was fine.

Thankyou everyone for your kind reply’s ,

We have been having wee breaks and were up in dornoch for a holiday.The transplant team said it was a good idea to have breaks but mapped out all the hospitals for us🤐.Keith is 6 months post transplant and we are hoping to go abroad in march 19.Nothing booked but isnt it great to be able to look forward again.

Hi Huw,

glad you ate doing well. Hubby reaches his 4 month post TX next week on the 12th. As he is a chef he is not able to go back to work just yet as still gets tired easily & at the moment he can feel every ache in his joints - this week it's the left shoulder joining the game

His tx team have told him its the effects of no longer being on any steroids which he was taken off 6 weeks ago. Have you had any joint pain?

Well done buddy. You’re a superstar getting back to work already. Glad to hear things are going so well.

It’s a serious emotional rollercoaster.

All the best mucker.

Well done Huw, seems like you are doing better than your football team 😂😂😂.

On a serious note it is important that we share the good and the bad on here as so many people are all at different stages of illness, recovery, pain, heartache etc. We are all tied together by an invisible bond, and brought together to share our experiences to help others and hopefully occasionally give them hope. Your story is just that, one of success and the fact you are going back to work so soon is testament to your strength of character. I know I am always pleased to hear how you are getting on, so keep doing what you are doing.

Thanks so much for sharing your news Huw.

You're doing brilliantly and we send you our good wishes.

Well done u going back to work that’s fantastic ! We’ve still not wrote letter and think about it all the time . Need to get head round it all x

Hi 1football,

So good to hear that you are not only doing well, but improving and able to see the improvement yourself.

Wishing you continued good health, Huw.
