Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 The Tx nurse seems to be missing a few points! Doesn't a liver transplant involve making three long incisions in the abdominal wall? And a Roux-en-Y reconstruction of the intestine? I imagine that would cause sufficient pain without the liver itself hurting. I'm so glad that Deb is looking and feeling better, even if you and she may hit some bumps in the road to recovery. You've dealt with so much already. It makes us all hopeful and I look forward to your updates. Martha (MA) Also met with the TX nurse after care and went over the > details of labs and clinic visits. She asked why deb was on pain > meds and while saying she wasn't being judgemental, she had been > told by the Hep docs that the liver doesn't feel pain. Quote
