Heyyyy and

[Guest guest]

Yes cirrhosis and esld stages are a damn hard emotional - mental - physical and medical fight and battle because we are every day in the fight for our lives.

We all in esld had to go through many emotional - physical - medical problems

become even stronger as time goes by to overcome it take charge of it all and us for our best outcomes and survivals and deciding to list for transplant or not.

It is extremely overwhelming so many things - priorities - problems - questions - fears we must face and we do need to face it all the reality of it all open and honestly to make our best decisions and for our own lives.

Yes it all is very unfair and we as human beings should not be or should not have to face experience feel these things and decisions of life or death to be listed or not but the reality is we do.

Many of us have done it overcame it have made it through it and know the meaning of being given a true Medical Miracle a 2nd chance at life.

Many of us in esld did not have that option were not medically approved or medically - physically - emotionally strong enough denied a transplant and any hope of a 2nd chance at life.

You and are now at the hard crossroads stage very hard decision making and the extremely hard emotional reality part of it hitting you now and for your lives.

The next hard stage is the wait while listed for a transplant so become as strong determined as you can be now and ready for it all and after transplant if you make that decision and when the time comes.

In esld we must become the most strongest mind - body and soul we can become and for the future to face it all make it through it all stay focused stay positive and be able to make the best most hardest decisions of our lives and for our lives.

Our Dr's Teams know this understand this and there to help us with it through it and offer whatever info and staff counseling needed for each 1 of us to best handle and make the best decisions for each 1 of us. Most TP Teams have full in-house staff for counseling educating answering all your questions or have staff they work with to refer their pt's to for this.

Trying to handle it all alone in esld and for listing or not is a very overwhelming frustrating extremely hard task and to do all alone with no help - not having all the info - guidance or counseling through it all. Going it alone may only make the anger - frustrations - confusions - all emotional problems much worse on the person grow and multiple and trying to solve handle make the hardest decisions of their lives.

I went through it all asked learned all about my transplant and after and my risk factors and once I decided I wanted to live deserved to live deserved my 2nd chance at life just like everyone else I said yes got with the program being a much of a cooperative team player pt as possible and got listed.

I know in my mind heart and soul I did everything humanly possible I could have done for me and than left it all in the hands of my TP Team and God.

I had no regrets and than felt much stronger lighter happier and content and let go of all my frustrations - stress as possible and felt - Whatever will be - Will Be - I did my part and could than enjoy feel Blessed for every single day of my life.

You need to be and stay as strong as possible not only with health but your emotional health too which plays a large part in our health - medical problems -transplant evals and for our best outcomes and best survivals - quality of lives.

All The Best
