Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi Gang How are you ????? Since we read and discussed how a liver transplant can Wow correct hemophilia in a pt I have been thinking about this topic. Ascities and high ammonia levels are a result of ESLD. PTP brand new liver functioning and no more ascities for most no high ammonia levels and usually no need to take our wonderful tasting Lactulose that we all love so much. I have been very fortunate and in ESLD and now have no permanent severe damage to other organs or systems. I was checked from head to toe just like our Suzie is doing now and was and still clear of any serious medical problems heart - lungs - kidneys - digestive system - cancers. I had a liver in ESLD from chronic HCV and all the complications and symptoms from that a list so long it looked like a long rap sheet. Noticed I left our brain - it's a good brain. Ohhhh I saw another Mel movie last night his new version of The Producers - Springtime for Hitler and laughed my butt off or what's left back there. After my TP my ascities and most ESLD complications I had were just gone. Yes we do have many serious medical issues being PTP and being on anti-rejection meds but it sure beats the hell out of the alternative. If you would have seen me right before my TP you would have gone to Vegas and bet all your money on me not making it. I looked and felt that bad and my kids wanted to know if cremation was still a go and they were planing on how to spend their inheritance. I fooled the little darlings and everyone else and you know I bounced back to my feisty self and more and have enjoyed the hell out of my life PTP. Have a good long Labor Day weekend. Enjoy. Love and Hugs. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
