@racing212, I also live at a distance from Mayo. However, my local docs do coordinate with Mayo, and that gives me confidence that I get the best of care. I hope that that is the way it is with youur docs. I am sorry to hear about your hospitalization. Pre transplant. my hospital and ER visits were quite frequent, and I never got used to them, however I did (unfortunately) become well known to the staff there.
I sincerely hope that you will soon be match for an available organ. It is a matter of time, and speaking from my experience, the waiting can feel intolerable.
I want to emphasize the importance of eating healthy and remaining active prior to transplant. Your body will be better prepared for surgery and recovery will be easier. Are you able to eat and get some exercise?

I'm known to the staff here to.. I still am able work part time i go to a couple stores to walk

@rosemary's such great advice! I was scheduled for PT twice a week at the transplant clinic where they documented everything. The therapists were also transplant clinic nurses and they were very encouraging. I started about 15 months pre-transplant.
