Hi all

Your good wishes are really appreciated.

I am very slow moving around, but I have adopted a serene "can achieve anything" look to hide behind!!😀

No idea on COPD/asthma Bettina 😕

Hi still with my new liver👍👍

Amazing recovery since getting home, small amout of pain only. Scar now closed up and healing. Blood stats are back all black on the screen for the first time in 2 years, no reds/blues and 100% relying on liver - no old meds to support body. Just new anti rejection drugs (which they have been reducing each week after weekly blood tests).

Took a week or two to get mobile, but now back walking, shopping, driving - LIVING!

Still one day at a time and not counting my chickens (but using idioms like they have gone out of fashion). Brief update complete 😀 Drink free 14 months now......
