Hi @contentandwell and thank you for the welcome! I had to travel about 250 miles (about a 4-1/2 hour drive) for my transplant. I live in West Texas (about in the middle of Texas) and went to Dallas at Baylor Scott & White. They were nothing but nice and professional, although I did kind of throw them a curveball with my recent EBV illness. An interesting aside, when I was ready for transplant, I made the 4-1/2 hour drive to attend Clinic in December 2017. My lab results were not read until later in the day, but I was dismissed from clinic. After making the drive back, I barely re-entered the house when I received "the call." I was told I was sicker on the blood labs than I appeared in person, so I had to make the drive back to Dallas that same day. I knew I wasn't feeling that good - my MELD score had jumped to 35 (putting me at the top of the list in my region). Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble and thank you again for the support!
