Pretty Vacant - Hep C Blog (Hepatitis C)

Sorry, for being pretty vacant for the last couple of days, but I've been at the doctors / hospitals etc.

This is the, last push' today as I sign consent forms for the Liver Transplant op. I will be looked at from all angles, have blood samples taken and assessed prior to approval.

Not that there is any doubt of being rejected, nor will I get a new liver straight away.

Now though, comes the waiting game until a liver becomes 'available'.
I'm told the average waiting time is 9months but really, how long is a piece of string??? I did hear of a girl getting called the next day, which in my case would mean the best Christmas present a man could receive.

Much depends on match, blood groups etc and of course, who is the most deserving case. Whilst there is no doubt that I have 'end stage' Hep C, this doesn't mean that there isn’t someone else worse off than me.

As of today though, it's a case of waiting for the phone to ring at any time of day or night, and being ready, both mentally and physically.

Anyway, I have to go now so keep everything crossed for me and I will write soon.
