david commented on Robert's blog post 'Almost had the transplant tonight.'"It happened to me also, I got called to IU Hospital, Indpls. for a
liver transplant. I went thru all the testing and waiting, and then
found out the liver was too fatty. I got another call 4 days later,
so back to the hospital. More testing and…"

Robert replied to Rachel's discussion '1st year anniversary/testing' in the group Lung(s) Transplants"I remember the gall bladder pain. I had stones and had mine removed several years ago. As for when I started feeling great, hmm. For most people I have talked to, it took at least 4 to 6 months. I hesitate sometimes to tell…"
Rita commented on Robert's blog post 'Almost had the transplant tonight.'"It is so hard to be called in and so excited and then to be sent home. You will get your lungs, hang in there (although it is hard) as you said God has a plan. His/Her time is not always on our time. I always feel he has to move things around, so…"

Sandy commented on Robert's blog post 'Almost had the transplant tonight.'"I had a dry run for my heart as well. It is better to get the good match! It is in God's hands and in his time. Faith will get you through it! Waiting is the hardest part in my opinion!

Sandra Barber Hughes commented on Robert's blog post 'Almost had the transplant tonight.'"Robert - I am so sorry, we also had a call for our organ, except ours was a liver and we rushed to the hospital as well.

Just a few hours after I posted the first message, I got the call from Methodist Hospital that they had a lung for me (I was the primary candidate). Pegi and I took off for Houston and made it from Lake Conroe to the Medical Center in 1hr and 10 min. That's flying folks.
