Removal of the staples

Monday 7th November 2011

We went to our local clinic to have Paul's Staples removed. The nurse called us in and was taken back at how well Paul was doing,  15 days post transplant. While she was getting all the necessary equipment ready, she asked Paul if he was a drinker and is that why he had the transplant. Well you can imagine my respond. I told her that Paul actually had a dreadful disease called PSC (I explained what it was) and THAT IT IS NOT ALCOHOL RELATED. I also mentioned people might need a liver Transplant for other reasons too. She was apologetic.

Just want to state that I'm still promoting organ and blood donation and always will do.
The nurse took a couple of Paul's Staples out has we back in Leeds tomorrow and she felt it would better if they took the rest of them out.
After having some of his staples out,  Paul said his stomach felt very heavy again. He felt a little apprehensive which is understandable.
