Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Oh , I hope your heart wants to be a team member and cooperate. I had a worry about mine, my echo showed slight left ventricular hypertrophy, or enlargening. It was prpbably from being overweight and slepp apnea. Sharon's dad had it and it killed him. Let's just hope our tickers are onboard with the quest for a freesh livah. :-) Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile Wish me luck! Back I go to the social worker on Monday and the Cardiologist on Tuesday. If the Cardiologist gives the High 5, OK then I am listed.!!! We will see if my heart wants to co-operate with the rest of my body and votes for a new liver to join it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Heart said.....come on board! I AM ON THE LIST!, I AM ON THE LIST! Officially, with a MELD of 26 as of today. I am so very excited to have gotten through all the appt's and test and finally made it to this point. As much as I was emotionally going back and forth with *do I really need a new liver?*, etc. Now that I am here I am ready. Also ready to take a deep breath for as long as it takes for the liver with my name on it to show up and relax and enjoy life as much as possible during my wait. I really want to focus and making my body as healthy as possible in anticipation of what it is about to go through.
