@jeanne5009, So you are still waiting. I hope that you are feeling okay and that your current low oxygen and the tests will provide some answers a hopeful solution. I know that you have been quite active, in spite of your liver failure. Is this current blood / oxygen slowing you down?
That is fantastic that you were contacted about a clinical trial! Is this with Johns Hopkins? I notice that the trial will go on for a year. This gives all of us an idea of how much different information is being collected and how long it might take for the researchers (and us) to know the answers to our questions about our protection from Covid. Thank you for participating.

You asked about how I am. Well, I just completed my annual evaluation. It has been 12 years for me and my transplant. I am happy to say that my liver and kidney are happy.

I look forward to visiting with you in some of the transplant discussions.
I invite you, and all members to learn more about the new features on Mayo Clinic Connect by following this blog - About Connect: Who, What & Why https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/

I'm guessing my learning curve is starting over....yikes!
Sometimes my brain doesn't want to get technical...I will give it my best
shot!
Super that you are doing well after all these years...so much hope for so
many..
This breathing thing is new. I was thinking it was asthma but maybe not. If
it is hepatopulmonary syndrome that will push me up onto the hot list
maybe. Going to the local pulmonologist in Sarasota Tues.....we will see.
Good to be thru the Covid crunch but not out as much as I would like. My
friend Gary is a clean year out of his Whipple...thank you God!
The 86 year old man I have lived with was just diagnosed with a bowel
blockage. He is losing weight, jaundiced, and holding on until the EUS
which is the 28th.That is the 1st opening the Gastro Dr. has.....
After Covid, everyone needs an operation! He had a triple bypass 20 yrs ago
and is on his 3rd pacemaker. Diabetes 2 as well.
This will keep us busy and I am sure I will be asking for prayers and
advice for Warren and me.
Stay well, stay close....

Here' s to new challenges!!
