Sixth anniversary!

Sunday January 13th 2013 at approximately 0830, I was wheeled in to the operating theatre at King's to receive the gift of a new liver. Man, those six years have flown by.

I've had ups and downs, and episodes of poor health suffering from pulmonary embolisms. But I have made it through.

What a wonderful gift it has been, and I shall be forever grateful to the donor and her family. All made possible by the almost super-human liver team at King's. From the cleaners to the surgeons, to me they all shine like stars in the universe.

Here's to the next six years!

Thank you.

Martin.

I know. It really makes us appreciate every day!

Great stuff Martin!

It is truly great to hear from people who have had a successful transplant. This is the one time I can honestly say that I hope I have a long way to go before I get “there” 😁
