@gaylea1 That’s just how long I waited also. I’m just under 5’3”, same height as my donor, and blood type B which I understand is an advantage, along with A and AB. I was MELD 28 but due for an increase when my transplant came through. Things had just gone downhill drastically and quickly.

@contentandwell my blood type is O+ and I'm about 5'2". Yes, things went pretty south from about 29 and up. That was about last fall. They transplanted me fairly quickly afyer that. I believe I was about 33. I'm just having (more) problems now. My white blood cell count has plummeted and they've taken me off cellcept. I was on 1000 mg a day. Now I take 2mg tacrolimus and 5mg prednisone (amongst 12 other pills) daily. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞
