Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@kltchrmn, Waiting for a transplant is a true test of patience. I think that you are most fortunate to be a patient at Mayo. And you are fortunate to be so near to a support group! I live in Kentucky, and there is no support group here, I felt completely alone when I was developing liver failure. I was flown to Mayo from ICU where I did live for a while and receive my transplant. When I returned home afterwards, I began looking for someone to talk to, that is when I found Mayo Connect.
@kltchrmn, What kind of things do talk about in a support group?

I’ve learned so much. The group noticed my trembling hands and suggested I look into lactulose. We have guest speakers sometimes. New transplant patients come while they’re still hospitalized. Caregivers ask a lot of questions. It’s so nice to be able to talk to and listen to a group that totally understand. We laugh a lot.
I’m very glad to be at Mayo and really like my team.
