At 17.06 today exactly six month ago I was being wheeled from theatre across liver street (corridor) for at least a 7 night stay, I was in 1 night and wheeled to Todd ward tbe next morning! Not bad for a fella who’s MELD score was saying, almost any day? I’m six month into the woods and I really can see the sunshine coming through from the clearing 😊 . Tomorrow I’m 14 months sober, you gotta love it. I’m humbled, greatful, a better man, a better feeling, a better everything really. I cannot thank my cdonor, his family, Professor Nigel Heston, the staff a Kings, my family, my friends, my partner of 19 years and husband of 9 months for never, ever giving up on me.

I’m not religious but I can truly and sincerely say I was blessed. After so long in the wilderness I was finally came home. Someone or something moped my brow, wiliest my tears and cleared my medication be so I was able to be strong enough to face my biggest battle. Tbe war will be never truly over but I am equipped enough to go into battle again and again.,..........

Hi poo

Wow poo your iPad is talking riddles today in the first sentence! I do understand though that you are celebrating 6 months since your transplant and you’re a very happy poo bear. Well done. Indeed! 👍😁
