My name is Jaime and I am 48… I was diagnosed with end stage liver disease in March 2024… Due to alcohol… I started my transplant process at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Florida in August 2024… My MELD score is 26 and I have been on the transplant waiting list since Dec 2024… I thought my MELD score would go down after a year of absolutely no alcohol but that’s not the case… I have a sick liver and need the transplant… I hope to get a match soon!!!!!

Hang in there, Jaime. It will happen, most likely when you least expect it!

I wish you get a new liver soon I remember the wait period plus quality for one physically and mentally as I found out later the mental health afterwards was way more important I have one hundred percent partner along the journey, 2 years later and my family is not what I thought they were . I noticed that people will judge you and accuse you why you had a transplant ignore them, funny thing is they won’t ridicule for a heart transplant so I stay quiet and got rid of most of what I thought were my friends I hope this doesn’t happen to you. My team of doctors were top of the line and yours will be too I wish for great success and being patient and staying positive is the healthiest way to approach this
