Hi. My meld was 28 when I received my liver in Feb, '24 in Jax. I had my first dry run 2 days after I was placed on the list then 1 more dry run about a week later. I got the final call and my new liver, Lucy, 20 days after being listed.
(We stayed in Jacksonville after the first dry run which, I was today, helped)
Yours is coming...stay positive!

I remember your story about the dry runs! It is so wonderful to hear people like you and Craig and others who, post-transplant, feel great. So many people seem to post about health challenges, feeling worse, etc., which worries me, and will be a factor in my own decision about having a transplant or not. I know there are no guarantees at all, so I continue to watch the community, as questions, and research.
