Not worried about Liver, On to Vaccinations
My Liver biopsy was "unremarkable" nothing suggested a cause for my trouble. I stopped worrying and will let "tincture of time" address it (it is quite likely that it was just one of the post-transplant meds were irritating my liver).
I stopped the antibiotic in November, which was also my last appointment, and at which we said I'd start "childhood" vaccinations in February 2021. We did a seasonal flu shot too, since it was (1) worth a try before the worst of the flu season (2) cheap and low risk and (3) if it didn't work it was still worth a try (and a try again next year)
Feb 4th is my next appointment, and we'll probably do one or two of the kind of vaccinations that a 1 year old would have (but on a slower 3-month interval over the next 18 months of maybe 2 shots per visit, and 3 months between boosters).
MEANWHILE: I got a slot for the Covid vaccine. I'm on that list of immune-compromised "at risk" people who, if it works as a vaccine, that'd be a much better way of encountering COVID rather than as a "first impression" contagion. I will go this Thursday to Temple Israel (the synagogue down the street from Beth Israel)
