Well, he hasn't seen me in 6 months. I presume he gave up waiting on me to lose the wait. His name was Rosenblatt and I intended to keep seeing him but..... The Fellow Dr that was treating me just left the state so I have an appt. with a new Fellow this month. I have so many other problems I don't know if they think I could survive the surgery. I also have PBC (liver disease), chronic pain, and am now struggling to get my afib under control. I only started having it last year but we're getting my meds adjusted to keep it under control. It hits me 2-3 times a week. Sometimes I have to go to the ER to get it stopped. There are some days that I wonder if it's worth going on. I decided I would be a shut-in until this heat subsides. Thanks so much for your input and advice. I really need to find out if the transplant is out or not. I am 64 and never expected to live past 70 so that's getting closer every year. I have beautiful great-grandkids that I want to live every day I can to see them grow but I sometimes wonder if I could handle being bedfast. I think that is on its. way. Thank you again for sharing.
