<pre wrap="">Folks,
To keep you updated with the latest...
Last Thursday I had an endoscopy done by the boss of the Hepatology Dept at
our hospital, she wanted to make sure she saw the state for herself rather
than reading someone else's report, which was kind of her.
The endoscopy showed that there is probably sufficient blood-flow and low
enough pressure that I am unlikely to bleed severely in the near future, and
so the decision has been taken to take me off the liver transplant list. In
6 months time, she will do another endoscopy and review the situation again.
But, to be honest, it is unlikely I will be put back on the list again.
This is good, in that I don't need a very major operation, but it also means
that a bunch of other things won't get fixed at the same time. So it's good,
but not *all* good.
So I have unpacked my hospital bag. 17 months preparing myself for it, and
just 10 minutes to unpack my bag and put it all away again. Ho hum.
Many thanks for all your kind messages over the past months wishing me luck
with the transplant, they really did help me. Time to move on, I guess.
Cheers.
Jules

<pre wrap="">Well... Mostly good, I guess:/.
I hope you land on this being good, in the end... While pondering,
share a virtual toast (red, of course), with a slightly decrepit
Swede;-).
All the best!
Cheers
