Yes I agree...the good news is that eveything they have checked was fine
The cardiologist who is head of the heart transplant group at TGH is doing the procedure and has assured me that it wont have any impact on my waiting. He said if there is something going on they will fix it while they are in there. Mayo has agreed to the procedure.
I think they are checking all the weak links before they list. We will see. Know more tomorrow.

@jeanne5009 That is good news, that everything they have checked is fine. Be confident that they will fix whatever they need to so that a transplant will be possible. I was so afraid that something would be found when I was going through all of the tests but they assured me that if anything did come up they would take care of it.
I am a little confused, you are going to Mayo for tests but when you get to the point of transplant it will be at Tampa? It sounds as if there are a number of good transplant hospitals in Florida. When I first started at Mass General they told me that they generally transplanted at a higher MELD and suggested that I might want to look into hospitals in Florida and Indiana. I had talked to them at Mayo in MN and was just about to move forward when my transplant came through in Boston at MELD 28. That was a very Hallelujah moment.
