We (My liver and I) are getting along better---by robin

Yesterday afternoon I received a fax of my requested labs and I am happy to report that in my own humble opinion (as I have no other to base my conclusion) my liver and I are getting along better and should be back to a peaceful co-existence soon.
Having an episode of rejection over a year after my transplant opened my eyes. This is the first time I EVER considered that a problem could occur. Having been in ICU about 12 hours after my transplant and going home on the fourth day, I felt invincable. Labs had never been "normal" and I'm not sure that they would have ever concerned me had the biopsy not forced me to admit that there were risks involved and yes...rejection could occur.
I hope that with the increase in medication that my body will remain a good "host" for my liver. So, the week begins with good news.
Keep your spirits high...robin

BTW...did you notice the "birthday" cake my daughter Jill made for my first anniversary with my liver? It's posted to the right of this column.
