I was very sick at MELD 40+. Leslie, my transplant nurse who met me at the intake room was rooting for me every step of the way. Explaining during evaluation what was occurring and why. There were three livers available during the first 4 days on the list in intensive care. The first was too big, the second went to a critical guy who was too sick and did not make it. I entered ICU on 6/23/18 where I was stabilised on hemo dialysis and was put on the list on 6/25/18. I had a Liver transplant early in the morning of 6/29/18. Nurses stand out in my memory. Leslie was the gate keeper sort of speak. She was very good at keeping my expectations high. I was up beat even though I was very ill. All the nurses were special. I will never forget the dream I had while being under during the operation. I was being chased by something nasty. I guess I got away. 😊
