Been on the list since Jan 27, 2023. Had a dry run last week. My heart races every time that phone rings!

Hi Sherri,
So we are about the same time getting on list!
It is scary to hear the phone ring!
I’ve become less nervous about it all though and I keep in mind one word:
Grateful
That helps be focus on the positive and not all the details of what the actual transplant surgery is all about! The team told me they thought my wait would be about 3 months.
My score is 38.
I wish you well!

Hi Shari,
Thanks for your kind words!
So you experienced a dry run too! Hard to cope with that, but like I mentioned before, it’s for the best that they get the healthiest lungs for us.
Wow, you had gone to pre-op! I was just about to.
Where do you live?
I wish you and your family all the best and you are in my prayers! God bless you.
