@mycase1968, I want to drop in and check on how you are getting along. If you are going to move forward with transplant surgery, we are here to support you. And if the surgery is not going to be possible, we are here, too. Either way, you are not alone.
@morty, I want you to know that I am thinking about you and hoping that you are as comfortable as is possible at this point. I know how hard the waiting and unknowing is. How are you feeling?
@ek101085, I am sending my thoughts and hopes that you and your sister are on a forward journey.
@marvinjsturing, will you be going to Omaha in January? If so, will you need to be re-evaluated to be listed there, too?
How does that work?-being listed at 2 centers?

@rosemarya I have 2 days of appointments scheduled in Omaho for January 8 & 9. They initially told me that they would try to use as many test results from Mayo as possible. My schedule in Omaha is very similar to my annual reevaluation at Mayo including a heart stress test. I have to meet with the transplant coordinator, pharmacist, psychologist and financial counselor. I have lab work scheduled for both mornings and they have ultrasounds and CT scans scheduled to determine the best side for the transplant. I also have a couple of meetings with the transplant surgeon. I have been encouraged by several people to be registered in more than one transplant region. I have not verified it yet, but someone told me I cannot be registered at more than one transplant center in the same region
