Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know that Terry was put on the transplant list on Monday 6th June (D-DAY). We obviously understand that it could be a long wait but it's given us a bit of hope. Terry is blood group B which is not common so that's another obstacle but we are staying focused. Just have to try & keep him as fit & healthy as possible now. That's easier said than done !
Love to all.xx
That is such good news to give you renewed hope.😀. Group B isn't rare, just not as common as A or O, the red cross site has some great info on blood groups. Please try not to get too hung up on blood groups.
Is he on the priority list? I seem to remember that he has been in hospital a few times.
This is a difficult time for you all I know, having to play the waiting game. Is he able to exercise at all? Whilst I was waiting, I bought a reclined exersise bike which I used every day, no matter how poorly I felt. I'm sure that, that and the ensure protein drinks I was having helped enormously with my recovery post transplant.
Stay strong, we're always here for you on this page.

Aw thanks Mike. The co-ordinator did say that B livers are quite rare but also that less recipients waiting so evens out. Also, if he got considerably worse they could use an O liver.
He's not priority but after taking bloods Monday they did ring Tuesday to say he's moved up to Regional listing.
The really annoying bit is that since Monday I have been getting shed loads of telesales calls ((even though have TPS) but I need to answer every call from now on.
Thanks. Mal.xx
That's fantastic news. Wishing you lots of luck. Xx
many many thanx.xx

Don't forget to look after yourself too! 🍀
Will do my best. Thanks for your kindness.xx
Great news! Hope a suitable liver comes up soon! x
Good luck to you and your oh 
I was told that sometimes a rarer blood type is a benefit as the waiting list is shorter. I was an A which isn't as rare but only waited 4 weeks. It's just so unpredictable but hopefully the right one will be offered soon. Xx
Don't want to give you false hope but waiting can be within a short time. So be prepared from now on. Have your hospital bag ready. I had twenty minutes to get all my stuff ready as the phone call came at 8am two weeks after being listed. The ambulance was already outside waiting. So be prepared !
Thats good to hear. Although I dont think you ever know how you'll feel until when you actually get the call. Mine was disbelief, fear and anxiety all mixed up with relief and a hint of the excitement of starting a new journey into the unknown. I enjoyed the blue lights and sirens of the ambulance pushing the busy morning London traffic out of the way ! Jim
