Hi all
Thought I’d give an update as am now 14weeks post TX .
Wow this is some journey from getting that call to actually starting back at work today part time to start with.When that call came I was very nervous but also very happy and then guilt all within minutes of each other but it was the call I needed.Now 14 weeks later my tablets are getting lower am down to 9 a day strength of tablets are getting lower but my strength is increasing daily.Am telling you this as I know when I was on the list of course I wanted the call but I was also petrified of the op and the waking up in icu,well the op you really know nothing whatsoever about and upon waking up 36 hours later I had no pain just felt light headed and relieved.Its a long recovery and the meds can make you feel yuk but the feeling of achievement you get every day as you get stronger is amazing.
Constantly on my mind is my donor & family to whom I will be eternally thankful to and my letter which am finding hard to write as I can’t find the words that do them justice will be on its way to them shortly.
Keep strong everyone

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
