Jeanne,

Glad to hear things are moving quickly and that you're getting top

notch help in Amarillo. My liver doctor told me the same thing in

December. Quote: " You won't have to wait for a liver in Houston. " I

see a team of docs at the Liver Disease Center at Baylor in Houston

(the Medical Center here is great). Anyway, whether it's the " no

helmet " law or just an abundance of organ donors, I am quire pleased

to know there won't be a wait when the time comes.

So, to all of you who will need a liver...Houston is a great place to

live! Affordable housing, interestimg people and food, easy to

fly in and out of, and an abundance of livers. I will say that the

heat and humidity can be overwhelming in the summer. However, after

my resection in December, I'm always cold...and for the first summer

ever, I welcomed the heat!

Thank you for your feed back on Houston... I have been treated great here by all the Dr..in Amarillo & Baylor The Dr I saw from Baylor said they look at everything (quality of life) not just the meld #..don't get wrong the meld # does play a important part... Helmet ??? (everybody should wear one) but also the TV commercial helps remind folks to sign up..my family and 5 grand kids are all sign up here in TX.... Best of luck Thanks Jeanne Pampa txgaranzuay wrote: Jeanne,Glad to hear things are moving quickly and that you're getting top notch help in Amarillo.

From a different Texas perspective. I am a native Houstonian and there

is one liver center (that shall remain nameless in this post) that I

wouldn't send a sick pet to. Speaking from personal experience, I was

bounced around to 4 (count 'em, four) separate hepatologists in a span

of a year and 1/2. Only one of them had common sense.

After more than enough bad encounters with these doctors, I have since

referred myself to another program in our great medical center. After

just one visit, a definitive treatment program has been started for

me. A big THANK YOU goes out to this group.

This rant could go on forever but I will finish now.

If anyone who is considering using a Houston liver group, please feel

free to contact me privately.
