On the blood typing side, I went through the same thought process as you, but on the other side - I was O, so more donors but more demand/competition from others on the list. That said, I don't know if the system differs in the US compared to UK. I think ultimately the wait time is a lottery and is based on when the best match turns up. Good luck! You asked about PFTs when listed. Mine were about 27% FEV1 and 45% FVC, so not massively different to you. Enjoy home life and your recoup.Will Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508088975549500412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610589921651128524.post-40380649555311020422010-02-05T06:03:14.791-08:002010-02-05T06:03:14.791-08:00Follow up with Dr on 23rd....all the parties I met...Follow up with Dr on 23rd....all the parties I met with need to get together and talk first I guess. Kind of sucks to have to wait though. I want more detail on what the blood type thing means to me, and learn about crosslisting. Any transplant listed readers out there, your PFTs about the same as mine?James Fahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454790754783331298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610589921651128524.post-43878849192538935772010-02-04T23:33:13.767-08:002010-02-04T23:33:13.767-08:00Glad to see you are done with all the testing and ...Glad to see you are done with all the testing and you are home! It's a grueling process. Are you listed or do you have to wait to know?

You are a lucky man to have such a wonderful wife. Especially a wife that carries your bags and gets you Starbucks. ;)<br /><br />Chapter 1 of this story is now over. Can't wait for more. I'm looking forward to reading all of the post-op updates and *fingers crossed* reading about your trip to Florida next year with new lungs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
