@rosemarya @contentandwell ...so I finally got a call into the hospital as a back up recipient. The intended recipient was borderline for surgery as he was quite ill. He made it through the critical part and was able to undergo surgery. I was admitted at 1:00 pm and had a chest xray an eeg or is it it ecg blood tests and IV line in. Waited 6 hours then told to go home. I guess a good experience for when my "true" call comes in but never the less disappointing. Hope next call is soon and I get the transplant.

@gaylea1 how disappointing for you, but as Rosemary said, exciting for the gentleman and his family. If you got "the call" as the secondary, your call should be coming soon. Keep the faith.

@gaylea1 What a mixed bag of emotions! Such disappointment, but also feeling good knowing you are so close. I never got a call prior to THE call. I don't remember a lot of testing when I got there either, maybe I had all of it just before then or, maybe it's just such a blur I don't remember.

I just read this! How did you sleep last night after all of that activity?
I am sorry for you, but happy for the gentleman who did get to receive his transplant. I hope he does well. I can almost imagine your disappointment, yet this is what we have been prepared for. Now that you have had a practice drill, I can hope and pray along with you that your own call will be coming before too long.
My husband and I used to always worry about the phone working. At least you know that your phone connection is good and that the call can go thru.
Hugs.
