@gaylea1 I don’t recall if you are a transplant candidate in the US, or elsewhere. If the US, what region are you in, and do you know at what MELD transplants typically occur?

@contentandwell I am in London Ontaro and am in the transplant range. MELD scores here typically transplant 28+. I'm at 30. I went through a "dry run" where I was called in as a backup when a liver recipient was too ill to transplant. Had an ECG done, chest xray, numerous vitals and blood tests and an IV inserted. Admitted and waited for 6 hours to be told the other patient was going ahead with the surgery and I was sent home.
