@btg Brian, I am soooo happy to hear good news about your progress. And you are absolutely correct that your good health is going weigh heavily in your favor as you look forward to eventual listing and surgery. My advice, if you were to ask, is to stay active and eat healthy foods.
I hope that gentle breezes will be with you as you set sail!
Brian, please send updates.

Thanks, Rosemary. I do exercise six days a week, usually 1.5 to 2 hour walks as early as I can in the morning. Per my Doc, my diet is fairly strict as my sodium level is still low, but, I can have cheat days. Tonight, is my cheat night! Still eat healthy but it tastes better, and some ice cream later.

See, there are already things to look forward to.

Be well and safe,

Bryan

Update for you. I have completed everything required for the transplant team here to discuss my case for referral to Mayo. There is a good chance that I’ll be out there in the next few weeks! Through all the tests, with the exception of my liver, everything else is healthy, strong and good. Looking forward to this journey and pray everyday for a good result and a healthy recovery. Thank you for keeping in touch, Rosemary, it is very much appreciated. So glad I found this message board to be able to learn more about the process and for the support that I have received. Be well and safe, wish me luck!

Well, I have a date in Phoenix. My first VERY full day of appointments is April 18th. We’ll leave a couple days earlier so we can check in and get settled. Looking like at least a full week, likely a little bit longer to complete the assessment process at Mayo. They said that with my MELD score where it is they will more than likely ask us to stay in hopes of a transplant soon thereafter. I have a few more tests out here for them then we put the sails up and go. I’ll update when I can, and thank you all for not only being here but for your support. Be well and safe until then…
