How did your PT go?  Have you had lab results back yet?
I am sore and more worn out. It is painful to do the exercises and shows how bad I have gotten. My left knee seems to have fared the worst. It is like I had no knee surgery at all with the functionality and pain scale it has.
 
 I will pick lab results Thursday before I go to therapy because I willneed them Friday for a doctors appointment.

How were your labs, Chris?

I do not know, I never looked at them after picking them up. I picked them up after p.t. and fell asleep. Went to a doctors appointment, gave him the results, and he ordered more labs. I will do my monthly labs again next week.
 
P.T. just wears me out and makes me more sore, liver area is uncoimfortable still.

Had different labs taken and depending on those results I may have a liver biopsy performed.

I have had two seperate lab draws for various kinds of test to determine if a liver biopsy should be done and both times the hospital lab has messed up. This time when I get the orders I will go to my local hospital.
 
A lot of stress around here and I need a vacation!

I have no updates really. I am still getting lab work with each medication change. Some days my liver feels swollen, but it's not consistent. I haven't had any alcohol since early this year and I would like a beer on my birthday, but I am not going to push my luck. Physical therapy ended last week and I have worked up to walking Whitley to 3.77 miles according to my gps dog walk app. I was in pain halfway through and after I ended. I still get worn out with activity and nap for long periods of time which is the biggest aggravation.

Went to my transplant clinic and I was told there is not much they can do due to all the medical complications I have. So even though they have lowered my liver levels, they do not want to stop any of the medications that maybe causing it. My liver has to be monitored more frequently. I have been switched to a different bone infusion med (side effects suck!), other specialist have to monitor respective levels they deal with, and a different arthritis med maybe used after they figure out what is going on with my ankles.
