Yes I leave for Mayo on Wednesday surgery is scheduled for Friday morning as my sister is my donor ..my sisters all signed up to get tested and they sent them out blood test that they took to there doctor and had blood drawn and sent back to mayo .. from there is they were compatible my older sister was the first to send it back and she was the first sent to mayo for testing .. a three days of test and we found out before we left she was a match . And then it was my turn .. or ours actually to choose a date to have it done .. so we are scheduled March 8 2019 the 21 year of liver transplant !! So two miracles in one day .. so soon I can tell you how everything went but if you have an other questions .. it’s a pretty easy process.. but first they have to fill out the questionnaire.. step one .. Good luck !!

Wishing you all the best for a good result and smooth recovery. 🙏🏻
@threerrr3 Congrats on your soon-to-have liver transplant. I hope you and sister do excellently and have very little discomfort. Looking forward to hearing about it afterward.
My biggest regret was that I forgot to bring along a notebook I bought to keep track of each day, a journal. I really wish I had done that so I could remember exactly what each day was like and how much better I felt from one day to the next.
I'm sure your bag is packed and you are ready to go. I forgot to pack lip balm, and hospital air is dry. The hospital actually did have some though so that helped.

@threerrr3, Thank you for making time in your pre transplant week to share your experience on Connect. I appreciate it, and I know that others who read your words will feel comfort and encouragement.
I wish you and your sister a safe journey to Mayo. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers. I am excited for you to be finally getting your transplant. Hugs.
