I was also diagnosed with PSC when I was 17 so I know Steve felt. It takes that invincible feeling away from you that all high school kids have away really fast. You asked your self why this happened when you did nothing to spark it. You lose a part of your life it seems. I was very down for a long time but then I realized that there is nothing you can do about it and worrying was just going to make you worse. It has been one month and nine days since I have received my new liver. I have so much energy and I feel like a million bucks. I feel like a 23yr old should. I was only in the hospital for 7 days and all the pain from my surgery only lasted about two weeks. You feel so much better the next day after you get it. Even though you are in pain you kind of forget about it b/c you are feeling so good. Now that I'm home and have nothing to do I think a lot about why this happened to me. I would not change this because now I have such a greater look on life. I really do live everyday as if it were my last. After your transplant the grass seems greener, the sky seems bigger and bluer. U really enjoy life so much more. I know me writing this is not going to change things. I read a lot before I had mine and it really did nothing for me. You have to experience it for yourself to truly realize how great it is. Tell Steve to hang in there because it is so worth it in the long run. Steve will be in my prayers.
