Health update

Folks,

Well, I've just got back from the hospital, had another meeting with the 
transplant team.

As of now, I'm suspended on the liver waiting list.
They are going to do another endoscopy in the next 2 or 3 weeks, and 
we'll see the outcome of that to see if the varices have gone down at 
all which will imply better blood flow through my new portal vein 
replacement.
I suspect this will most likely show an improvement.

If it does, then the original reason for me being on the list will have 
gone (well enough). So it will be no longer worth doing what is, in my 
case, a very difficult and dangerous procedure.

So I'm officially suspended from the list at the moment, but not removed.

As I've spent the past 15 months or so mentally preparing for the 
procedure, this is going to take a bit of getting used to. It's going to 
take a few days to sink in properly.

Jules
