It's been a week since my last blog. There was really nothing new to report. Except My Right Cath. went well and the tests I took all look good. Just a few more formalities and I'll be on the list as a 1B. I should get a "Go Live"* date this month or beginning of May. (*official list date)
They want to look at my thyroid, then who knows what else, but I was reassured I was very close to the end of the evaluation..
I met with more of the transplant staff when I was there Last week. I have to be honest. There are times when we're discussing the actual transplant that can't believe I'm the recipient of the organ and about to have it "swapped" out for my "original part." (so to speak) That feeling doesn't usually last long, however, there have been nights (LONG ONES) when it's all I think about. I need some distractions so I'll ask you all to drop me lines or ask me questions about the procedure to keep the dome busy.
Having more good days than bad. The exercise helps.
AND I also want to thank Ed, Margie n Jim for installing the carpet at my place yesterday. (Sorry I didn't come to see you but I was crashed out from the previous day) D and I really appreciate it.
Well, that's all I can think of at the moment but I'll make effort to blog daily. If i start to get bored I'll improvise.

okay so what does a 1B mean and is there an average time between active listing and actual receiving of the transplant and can we assume that your current LVAD will be gone immediately once the transplant takes place?
