thanks..

when I left her last night (Monday) she was smiling..

I left her at the door to surgery--no, not for her..

she was going to visit her co-workers on night shift..

its good to " be home " when you are in the hospital.

>transplants???

no..

just that PSC patients don't compete well here for the same reasons as there,

plus they (somehow) take into account that some non-psc patients have less

likelyhood of self-attacking the new liver..

>damage a new liver. Where did that come from???

I didn't intend to say that PSC always damages the transplanted liver..

I do think it is a known fact, however, that the condition which damaged the

original liver is not removed, cured or modified in any way by a transplant..

> Hey, maybe you and Mette should move back here. Since you are a US

>citizen it wouldn't be too hard to come back would it??

no, that would be no problem..

we could move there..

however, since we have no insurance there and Mette is not " insurable " I don't

know how we would come up with the money finance a liver transplant..
