Good News, The minute we sat down the doctor told us all the tests were fine and has passed all the info to the transplant team in Newcastle, Except for the test on my heart they said they could fit a stemp (if thats what is called) and all should be ok, Explained I would have to go to Newcastle for a week to do the same tests again she could not believe the difference in myself in 5 weeks my mobility and breathing tests were excellent and if I want to drop my hourly oxygen down to 3 or 2 she would be fine and just to use the oxygen when I need it, She looked at me and Fran and said there might be another reason they might refuse me my heart stopped then she said I might not be ill enough for the transplant then a wee smile came on her face, And has agreed there is no reason not to go back to work as long as we organise my oxygen and I am covered at all times. So it's a case of waiting. Mattcass

Great news Matt, though she was cheeky teasing you! Fingers crossed for you.

(It's stent by the way, though we have a friend who's had a couple done & he calls them stints so they're forever known as that by us now)
