I had been home from hospital a day when my mum told me of her friends friends who had a Polycystic Liver, my mum suggested I get in touch through facebook, at the time I thought yeah, maybe in day or two.
As it turns out I was on facebook and came across a page called PLD Polycystic Liver Disease it's members are all people who have PLD and some have gone through surgery like me, and others are still waiting or just being diagnosed and looking for more information.
I decided that since I had came out the other side of a successful surgery I would put a message up just to show people there is hope.
I got some lovely messages back and some said they would be interested in following this blog - which was another encouraging factor for me to do this. Anyway one of the responders was this girl my mum had spoke of -Elaine.
On further messaging it turns out Elaine lives about 10 minutes from me, she had liver resection surgery 5 years ago on the same day as me, 20th October, by the same surgeon!! I just thought this was uncanny!
Needless to say I had a lot of questions for Elaine and she had a lot of encouragement for me, when I'm feeling a bit better I will definitely be asking to meet up with her.
