Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi This is just to let you know that as of tomorrow I am being placed on the transplant waiting list. The average wait is 50-60 days. My meld is 15. Please could those who do, pray for a successful outcome. Also I wanted to recommend a book which I saw on this site but is worth mentioning again. It is: 100 Questions & Answers about Liver Transplantation: A Lahey Clinic guide. by Frederick D. Gordon MD. pub. & Bartlett. I found it really helpful. Unlike some patient oriented stuff it is not too simplistic, on the other hand it is not like some of the papers u can read on this site which u need a science degree to understand! It has a lot of really helpful info. For Uk / outside US readers, it is available in the uk. Although some of the info is aimed purely at Americans (like the need for a financial co-odinator! I thank God i don't have to worry about the money for the op.), most of it is relevant to everyone.
