@PerelmansPearls @Nhepatic Whoop is a subscription model. You may want to try it for a few months and see how you feel about it. I don’t use Apple Watch for fitness so it’s worth it for me but ultimately it’s personal preference. Whoop is much more about sleep and recovery than about logging cals/sessions

@Nhepatic You are very kind @Nhepatic but I am certainly not an elite athlete. I do have both whoop and Apple Watch. I use Apple Watch only for notifications and whoop for sleep/recovery data

@shimulshah73 I would normally say relist and reTx but since LFTs appear to be normal it may be different. I have a similar pt who is now 8 years post and is well. She was relisted but didn't get a liver and she has always had normal LFTs- she has a stricture that has required occ ERCP/stent

#livertwitter Question - POD 7 after OLT, HA is down. LFT's normal, patient well. What do you do? Observe, back to OR and revascularize or relist/re-transplant ASAP? Or other options?

Hey @elonmusk, Delivery numbers for Q2 cannot be real. My model Y has been ready for weeks but can’t get anyone to speak to me about delivery. I’m sure it was counted though.....Customer service has to improve!
