Kevin I've just completed the evaluation process for a lung transplant. Over the next couple of weeks you will receive the most thorough physical you've ever had. Poked, prodded, questioned, blood tests and all that jazz. You will receive a Patient Visitors Guide that tells you exactly what is expected of you for each appointment. This means that you are not on this journey alone as the appointments are made for you, much like the military you are told where to go, what to do to prepare (if anything) and then be prepared for changes in the schedule as something might be added as you go along. My suggestion is to sit back, chill out and let this well oiled machine work for you. Just follow the directions in the Patient guide (the staff will print it out for you if you want. Mine was 45 pages but also included details on what the tests meant and nutrition information. I wish you success in getting through the process to be listed.
