I think that a meeting each other in person would be so much fun! You will have to let me know if it ever happens.

I have been able to meet a couple of Connect members during my annual post transplant visit at Mayo in Rochester.
Once I was chatting with another transplant patient in the lab waiting room when I recognized her green transplant bag, and she recognized my face from my tiny Connect photo. And to top it off, we had been talking to each a few days before that chance meeting!
And most recently, another member and I had arranged (via private message) to meet between appointments for a cup of coffee. Both times, it was as if we already knew each other.

That would be great. We have our initial interview Mar. 3. Everything has happened very unexpected because he was told he wouldn't be eligible because of his age. Then I discovered through the website Inspire that the age had been expanded at several centers. I am a little puzzled as to why his Dr at the Mayo failed to inform us of these changes. He is on oxygen full time and now his level has gone beyond his portable concentrator if he is very active. So a new lung would be amazing. Please keep us in your prayers as I will do for your family.
