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

I am sorry that happened to you.. I pray for the journey because I know it’s going to be one … I love the Mayo Clinic and my treatment team… Everyone has been so nice and supportive… Working in the medical field myself, I know how important that is… The wait is stressful for sure, knowing it could be any day or a year from now… I try to remain positive.. And I feel good considering my MELD being 26.. Other than a little swelling in my feet and being tired.. Other than that, I’m okay… How long did you wait for your transplant, may I ask…
