It's always good news to hear that you have been selected for a transplant. I my case, because I was at MELD 40 when entering the Transplant Hospital, two committees met within a week.One Surgical to determine if I was healthy enough for surgery and one for the transplant issues to determine all things considered, if I was a good candidate. I looked back in my medical records and there were a number of test such as phycological tests that I was not aware of. I know I failed at least one. I was very ill land at 40 Meld with failing kidneys the odds were in my favor. I was told by a family member that had worked a UCLA transplant center to treat the symptoms of my liver failure as they occurred. I had three trips to the ER for parasytethis and the fourth was for kidney failure due to E Coli poisoning. That was treated locally near my house. Within a day the liver team were I was found a bed at the Cedar Sinai Comprehensive Transplant Center. With that week I received the MELD 40 liver Transplant letter from the transplant team. I want to stress that I took very good care of myself while I was very ill. I stayed active and went to bed very early. I ate very small portions of food during the day. The doctors noted that I was healthy for my M level. I have no idea what the outcome would have been if I had been on the transplant list during the duration if my illness which was ten years since the first signs of liver damage.
