2nd assessment looming

Thank you to everyone who took the time to reassure me for 1st assessment at QE Birmingham it was gruelling? Went to old hospital and me and my partner were meeted and greeted. My obs showed high temperature and they couldnt get the 12 bottles of blood so they called a doctor. He got the blòod and issued antibiotics. Then it was over to new hospital, on crutches with temperature. Going from dept to dept I was fit to collapse. At the end a nurse in x ray took pity on me and grabbed a wheelchair to main entrance. Left Birmingham at rush hour back to Wales. Had phone call 2 days later asking me back for part 2 the following week. Too short notice for partner so going on 17th and 18th.

Here we go again, julie xx

It’s a long journey, I am now 7 months post transplant and finally feeling much better, keep positive and smiling 😁

I hope the next visit goes well

I remember that walk from the old part to the new its seems a long way when you are ill.

Thankfully after the assessment appointments are usually in the new part.

I always park on the top level of the car park A its only a short walk from there

Good luck with Part 2 Julie. It's actually quite an enjoyable couple of days where you can ask questions & learn a lot. You will see a surgeon anaethetist liver nurse, someone who's already been through it. I got my surgery only days after these 2 days. Jan x
