Liver transplant - Let's support each other

My Meld score was in the high 20,s , however I needed a Liver and Kidney transplant. I was transferred with extreme HE (Like in a Coma) from Las Vegas and after being revived at the MAYO and an additional heart test, I received my transplant within 24 hrs. This was after a 2 year journey of misdiagnosis in Las Vegas. Never give up and stay positive - they journey will be worth it.

@benlam11 Thank goodness you were transferred to a good transplant center. Being misdiagnosed is so difficult. My symptoms should have led to a diagnosis of cirrhosis so easily but they did not. Thank God the neurologist added it all up.

@beckyy39 MELD 25 really is not that high overall. You can of course get a type O liver also. I was told that was an advantage.

@rosemarya Ahh, distance from donor (she was in Cambridge, right next door to Boston where I was) and my time on the list both probably helped me.
