Dan's liver transplant

Had my drain on Friday as usual – no problems was home and eating a nice curry by 7.30.

Saturday, however was a different story, started feeling a bit rough, light headed, weak and massive pain in my abdomen. Ended up getting rushed to Watford general at about 3 pm. They did a ct scan and inserted an ng tube up my nose and a catheter up my urethra. Many pains! And vomiting.

Watford called the Royal Free and I was transferred here on Saturday evening. Lots of Morphine and pain relief. Then on Sunday day lunch time they cut me open and fixed me. Luckily the bowel had full blood flow and hadn’t ruptured so the just pushed it back in and sealed it with a mesh.

Today, Tuesday, they’ve moved me from ICU to a ward and removed loads of tubes. I can already stand and use the loo so fingers crossed I’ll be home in a few days.

And the best thing is that my liver Doctor has said i don’t have to be suspended from the list so I’m still queuing for a new liver!
