Well done you. You should be proud of yourself. You too have shared in this journey. That old adage, “What doesn't break you makes you stronger” will seem so true. A liver transplant is often seen as being a rebirth for many of us.

There may well be some emotional issues and feelings of depression, Survivors Guilt or PTSD, So don’t be alarmed if there are some tears. This is an ideal time to let go of any old ghosts and those skeletons in the closet. They are now all gone as they were all in the past, and you've now been reborn.

Well done to you both.

Good news, here's to an uncomplicated recovery, take it easy, don't rush recovery it generally takes a year to recover from surgery, whilst he may recover fairly quickly on the outside there is so much more going on inside. He also has to get used to the highly toxic drugs we take, first side effect will be uncontrollable shakes these will wear off when dosage is lowered. Don't be surprised if his character changes, he has nightmares and hallucinations in the first few days due to the pain killers he is on, be patient.

Post operation shakes will pass after a while. I made the mistake of ordering a meal with peas while I was shaking. Wasn't a good idea!

he's out of icu ..for those wondering what to pack ste didn't need anything till out of icu there's limited space and he was out of it most of his time there so he had his op at 12.30 sun on icu by 8pm just had a call tonight at 9pm to say he going up to the ward so I will take his bag in tomorrow ..as for my bag well 7 flannels 5 towels 1 pair of jeans 3 Bras 4 tops later I'm sat in the b and b think wtf was I thinking either I'm going to be very clean with nothing to wear or I'm going shopping for new clothes in between visiting..so I guess our bag is more important than their bag. But given 20 days listed we really wasnt expecting the call do soon . Physio getting him on his feet tomorrow he still shaking and not eating very much but to be expected. He's on track and I'm so proud. thankful .
