@tream01, Welcome to Connect. I can feel your fear and your excitement about the prospect of getting your liver transplant in the hopefully, not too distant future. Mine was 13 years ago and I remember the same emotions.
I am happy to hear that you might get the liver early with a living donor. It does sound like you have already found a good match in your transplant team! They are absolutely correct that you should never hesitate to contact them.
You said that you are getting helpful tips and encouragement by reading the posts. That is terrific! We learn and support each other by sharing our experiences.

Here are a couple of discussions that I want to share with you:
-It's getting real... found a living donor

-Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@tream01, I can't wait to read the next chapter of your novel!
How can I help you as you prepare for transplant?
