I would like to hear from anyone who has had a lung transplant

Yes that helps a lot! Might seem kind of silly but I have a cat who is kind of an indoor/outdoor cat! He sometimes can't make up his mind what he wants. I would have a hard time leaving him alone for so long. I know post transplant I'd have to be down there but if I didn't have to be there to wait for the call it could be weeks. I really appreciate your help. Thanks! 😊

We have a 14 year old Yorker so we rented an Air BnB that is pet friendly, but be sure to check with the Social Worker you are assigned to see what options for pets are available.

It can be more than weeks depending on your rating. For me it was about 2 months, but I had a high rating of 75 at the time of transplant. I have conversed with others that it has taken years. So its better if you don't have to be close for Mayo. Also don't be discouraged if it is not as fast as you hope.
