Thank you.I haven't slept all night because I have arthritis in my spine and with the tummy aswell it has been so painful that I could rip someone's head off. Apart from that I am feeling brilliant. I didn't realise that I was actually I'll😏

Congratulations, now take it easy and don't rush your recovery, it generally takes a year to recover from transplant surgery, no lifting and drink lots of water to protect your kidneys.Hilary💚

[Frananncru]

great news , congratulations, hope you have a swift recovery .

[Bikafella]

Well done you! Now comes the hard part - concentrate on your fitness without overdoing anything. As soon as you feel tired then relax. Your body has been through a major trauma. Getting rid of the anaesthetic used during your op can take a month or two. For me, I felt back to my normal within 6 months but not everyone goes through at the same rate. Good luck.

[Charlie-legs in reply to Bikafella]

That's good advice. I get over zealous and I mustn't.Thanks for your input, it's appreciated x

[taar]

Congratulations, and very best wishes. I am 3 months post transplant, and would just like to say it takes time, but I do think that every day I am getting a bit stronger, a bit more "me."

[Charlie-legs in reply to taar]

How wonderful for you xxxxxI have to remind myself to slow down because I feel so different now. Good luck pal xxx

[Readlots]

Congratulations! Wishing you a speedy recovery

Fantastic news, Charlie-legs! The beginning of your second life - it’s true - well has been for me (4 years), and hope it is great for you as well.

Good luck!

Oh I didn't realise that I had been ill but now the comparison is incredible. My mind is totally changed.

Don't feel too good today, I feel bloated and sore but wow. We really are blessed.🙏💞

Absolutely - we definitely are! Hope you feel better soon! The pain will ease - slowly but surely 😀👍.

Hi I too have just received my liver transplant on 5th Jan.

Were you worried at all after the op about how you felt physically.

Ta

[Charlie-legs in reply to Bantam2]

Hi there fellow newbie.I have to admit that I wasn't given my regular med's post op so I was withdrawing from sertaline, Gabapentin ad my epilepsy med's so with that and being fed morphine and the new anti rejection meds I was a wreck. They finally listened to me after they mentioned Ketamin. I blew my stack saying don't you dare come near me with a horse tranquilliser check my notes. Then they realised and I changed within 8 hours. But yes, I was/am worried, so far all is ok.

They took my drain out and the wound gushed. It was awful because the floor was flooding I was praying to die.

The comments of what do you want us to do and the panic to get a mop and bucket made me feel like I was in a 'Carry on' film!

I'm doing well though.

How about you? 2 week's in🙏🏼👍
