Dan's liver transplant

So after today’s drain I got a call from the liver specialist nurse asking me to book some blood tests for next week. No worries booked in and ready. I told her about my ‘trial run’ last week and she seemed surprised and said ‘it’s good you had a trial run and that you’ve had one already probably means you won’t be on the list very long!’

This is positive news and made me happy.

An hour later I got a call from the royal free and my consultant there wanted to discuss my medication. I’m on apixiban blood thinners and he wants to change it to warfarin because it’s easier to reverse. Now my Nan was on warfarin and it’s a pain in the arse you have to have weekly clinics and blood tests and you get nose bleeds and stuff. However his reasons made me even more positive, he said ‘apixiban is difficult to reverse if you are waiting for surgery so I’d like you on warfarin and I’m gonna write to your GP etc to set that up, but the reason for this is because warfarin can be reversed easily with and injection so won’t hamper major surgery and since you are close proximity to the hospital and because of your blood type etc I expect you to be transplanted sooner rather than later!’

So that’s two experts in one day saying they don’t think I’ll be waiting long for the transplant.

Watch how I’m still waiting in a year 😂
