Rosemary:
Our stories are remarkably similar, though my liver/kidney disease was caused by ETOH and family history.
I too was transplanted after being admitted in my last legs and bouncing back and forth twixt status one and seven. I lucked out at literally the last hour.
I’ve only met—virtually—two other SLK transplants. I think fewer than 8K of us exist or existed.
I’m an ambassador for Donate Life. I do visit Mayo annually.
Thanks for your volunteer work! Gottenyu.
