It's not all about the MELD Score

@kltchrmn @contentandwell @rosemarya my husband looked healthy and actually felt reasonably good up to the day of his surgery. His MELD was a 30 when he transplanted. He did get exception points due to having cancer in his liver. There were many times that we'd go to an appointment and almost feel guilty because there were so many people there that looked and obviously felt much worse.
Blessings,
JoDee

@jodeej your husband sounds similar to what my position was, except for the fact that the waiting room was large and for all of the gastro patients, not just the hepatology patients, so many more than just Pre-transplant.
After transplant, at my hospital, the transplant patients are the only ones there and then I really did feel different. I felt so fortunate to be so well as quickly as I did after transplant.
I am really excited for you and your husband to be on the other side now.
