Motivational boost!

[Fastkat]

Lying in Bed at QE feeling really well as good as I’ve been in last 12 months.

Just seen by consultant and he recons condition worse and I just have weeks left.

Great motivation to improve my anaerobic level and get on that list. I’ve been trying for 9 months now so I better redouble my efforts!

It’s great to see so many of you getting THE CALL at the moment. I wish you all luck and a fruitful life after tx.

Thank you Linda.

I just posted to get it off my chest!

The family has been in tears but I’m trying to lift my spirits as best I can.

I’m not about to sit round moping I will keep trying with the physio whilst I’m able. Strangly I don’t feel or look as ill as I am!

My last expected deadline was last Xmas but I’m still here. Got my daughters wedding in June and I’m hoping to be there 😀

Not looking for sympathy it’s only the giver that gets any benefit from that!

Forum has been useful help through the months

Best of luck

Hi

I live in France so things are different here. More organs available as you have to opt out etc. Anyway, my situation declined rapidly although I wasn’t feeling that different and I, too had only weeks. Then a miracle happened and the next thing I knew I was waking up, post op and everything had gone to plan. 11 months later I am one very happy bunny. I hope, hope, hope the same happens for you. Lots of positive thoughts coming your way.

Thank you Isabelle

My problem is I’m not on the list as they think I wouldn’t survive the surgery

I’m living in hope I can get fitter but my time is limited ☹️

[Isabelle2 in reply to Fastkat]

I sincerely hope you get on. I was accepted then I became really, really ill. One dr didn’t think it was worth it - I wouldn’t make it. Fortunately they were out voted.

[Hidden]

That's not what you want to hear is it? I hope you can prove them wrong and make a full recovery soon.

All the best

Keep fighting and prove them wrong. Hope you get a chance to get listed for transplant. You have a really good attitude to life for someone in your position.

Thinking of you

Hi

Keep fighting, I'm sure you will make your daughter's wedding and she will glow with pride as you walk her down the aisle. Take care Lynne

[Fastkat]

Thanks all for the support

I begin 6 weeks of increased training now when the QE will look at me again. I know it’s not enough time to build my strength and anerobics to a level where I would satisfy the tx panel. It’s not going to stop me trying though!

What a brave man you are. An inspiration to us all. Fight on my friend!

[Fastkat]

I’m not brave I’m very frightened by what lies ahead. I save the tears for when I’m alone.

I know I need to stay positive. It’s funny but I never get depressed just feel sorry for myself sometimes. I know there are people out there who feel worse and are having a harder time.

12 months ago I looked terrible and most people thought that was it. However the stories on this forum helped me pick myself up and fight the disease.

The easy part for me was stopping drinking just wish I’d cracked that before it was too late to make a difference.

Anyway off I go for a walk 😅
