Call no 4

[Maxey666]

Morning all

Phone rang at 0300 this morning, ambulance to Kings, bloods etc... all done. Half seven told been cancelled. Feels like it's become the norm now.

Maybe next time eh.

[Isabelle2]

Oh! So sad for you. I know that lots of us go through several calls.

I was on a fast several lane motorway like road on Sunday and there was a police motorcycle troop accompanying an organ transplant car. I gave up a prayer for the recipient and I do for you too, so you can soon be one of us transplantees on the group.

Stay strong!

All the best to you

Isabelle xx

[Maxey666 in reply to Isabelle2]

Thanks Isabelle. I am disappointed but it seems to get easier coping with everything the more times I've been called. I've resided my self to the fact that when it does happen it'll be a big bonus. But the mere fact of all the calls being in such a short space of time can only be a positive thing. X

[Isabelle2 in reply to Maxey666]

Too right

[Countrywalks]

It will happen soon sorry it wasnt to be this time tho xx

[Laura009]

Oh Maxey, what a shame again. Stay positive though, it will definately happen for you xx

[ThreeSmiles]

Aww man, that’s such a shame. First Wass now you and probably others. But I suppose - well I’m sure - it’s for the best in the long run. No point in having a dodgy liver....

Good luck and hope the next call is soon. I only had to wait 2 more weeks...

[Maxey666 in reply to ThreeSmiles]

It was exactly 2 weeks since the last call.

[ThreeSmiles in reply to Maxey666]

Cool. Let’s hope same - or less 👍 - until the next one!,

[Maxey666 in reply to ThreeSmiles]

Everything crossed.

Cheers Miles.

[Wass71]

Oh my, I'm just getting over the failed number 2, I'm so sorry for you. It's hard to believe it's actually going to happen isn't it. I'll be keeping fingers crossed that soon you'll have success x

Thank you. Not too good at the moment but hey ho. How are you feeling tonight ?, Take care of yourself Lynne

[Maxey666 in reply to Hidden]

I feel quite sick to be honest but that's probably the stress of the days events.

[Katiesgran]

[Hidden]

[hawksey]

Oh no! Can't start to think how I would feel if that happened to be. I'm waiting for Transplant Assesment . Just waiting....waiting.... You get the drift? All the very best and hope they get you sorted sooner rather than later. BTW, Kings Liver Unit is great!

Hi Maxey.

My op went ahead at the 3rd attempt so I, as most of the people on here know exactly what your going through.

On my 1st attempt I was about 90 minutes away from the hospital. I didn’t say a word on the way through. My mind was darting all over the place. What happened to the doner? Was I going to survive the op? What to say to loved ones before I went under? What’s it going to be like after?? You all know the stuff that goes through your mind. I was devastated when it didn’t go ahead. Think it was because I was telling people that I loved them and all that stuff at 3 am, just incase the op didn’t go well.

The 2nd time, I was told it was a bit of a long shot that it would go ahead but come through just in case we could go ahead. It didn’t but I was much better prepared.

The 3rd and final call was a very strange experience. I got called on a Friday night about 9pm asking me to come through. It was all very relaxed. Having the previous calls I was expecting it not to go ahead. So, I casually made my way through. Up to the ward, usual drill, bloods, getting into gowns, waiting, you know the drill. I was rather blasé about the whole thing.

Right get these surgical stockings on. Oh, this is new!!!! The porter will be here in 20 mins and we’ll get you downstairs. Again a new development. Saying goodbye to the family that had brought me through. I’m thinking, I’ll see you again in about 20 minutes. Into the lift and this is the surgical team. Oh hello, how are you all that stuff. Still in my mind thinking it’s going to get called off. Right lie back and we’ll start by putti...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Wake up 10 hours later and it was all done.

At every stage I thought it would get halted for some reason. Until it didn’t.

Fingers crossed that when it happens and it will happen, it goes something like that. Prepared and expecting it not to be done only for it to happen. No time for anxiety, stress or anything like that. Next thing you know your in post op and it’s all good.

It’s frustrating at time but well worth it in the end. It’ll happen soon and once everything is right you’ll be good to go.

Keep your hopes up Maxey.

Cheers Will.

[Maxey666 in reply to Willh0]

Cheers Will. Knocking on the door of no 6 now and could do with a bit of lady luck. I can completely relate to what you've said.

Max
