Pete Thanks for the info. Was you clear of hep c before your transplant?? d transplant

I had a liver transplant in 1998, befor the transplant its very hard,

cause you get sicker, weak, after the transplant for the 1st. mth..

its very hard, you don't know how to deal with it, but the transplant

team exceptinally understanding, don't be shy to ask questions, you

are very weak, and unable to do much, I was lucky,stayed in hospital 2

wks, another 2 wks,close to hospital, when at home you cannot do much

you sleep most of the time, have blood test every wks, then 2 wks.to

and once a mth, for the rest of your life, that's easy, it takes a

least 1yrs, to be back to normal, as the mths go by, it get easier, I

did not have lots of pain, some people do, but it is worth it, for me

10yrs. next year, I get sick, but you can deal with it, every year

goes by and you tell yourself, I AM HERE, that is a great feelings,

Hi Pete,

Thanks for sharing. My name is . I had a transplant in 2001. This August will be seven years. I was only in the hospital for seven days. They try to get you out as soon as possible because of the risk of infection.

It also took about a year to really get back to somewhat normal. The pre evaluation is pretty hard because it takes about a week of testing and you already feel awful. Probably the toughest time for me.

I have been lucky to not have gotten sick much at all, but that is a risk because the drugs you have to take depress your immune system.
