Peter has been called for a heart transplant.

[misdee]

i'm scared.

[misdee]

when i get to see him and possibly the docs (i have busy week at home this week and havent been to see him yet) i will ask further about it.

[survivour]

Hi misdee, you are coping well. Saw a thread on heartline, and knew straight away it was you, been scanning your threads, just to make sure, was gutted when I heard it was cancelled. If there is anything I can do, just ask, I've not met you, but you have a place in my heart. My prayers are with your family all the way.

[misdee]

was it an old message on heartline? i havent been on there for over a year. have been sticking close to the DCM board for support on heart problems, as they are all in the same boat. One member has just had a transplant and is doing well. In fact i sent him to that group asd he emailed me through mumsnet.

[Potty1]

Hi survivour - not seen you on Heartline recently, hope you're OK?

Will Peter be out for the weekend misdee?

[misdee]

no idea. will phone later and hopefully will have some news.

[Potty1]

It was from a mum of 3 boys with DCM misdee. She posts on Heartline, she's a bloody marvel TBH.

[misdee]

is that Sheran?

[misdee]

i've found it. she is amazing. her 3 boys and her husband are all affected. i think its harder when little ones are involved.

[survivour]

Yes misdee it was sheran, she is an inspiration isn't she? I only go on Heartline when I'm feeling very low, same on here, when I see people less fortunate than me, it makes me feel less sorry for myself... And the support is wonderful on both sites. Still praying for you.

[Potty1]

Thats her misdee - she's brilliant, she finds the time to offer so much support to everyone despite what must be huge daily worries for her.

Just seen all this Misdee and wondering how things are with Peter?

[misdee]

want this to happen so much now. but for the transplant to happen. its been so long without a call.

sorry for bumping.

[Carmenere]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all.

[JanH]

OMG misdee, thought it had happened now.

I want it to too - wish it would.

[edam]

Oh, Misdee, am so sorry you are still waiting.

[Beetle73]

Oh no. I saw the title and thought something good had happened. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

[misdee]

io wish it was happening again now. i wanted the link to post on my blog, as there is no way i can remember all the feelings of the 1st call and how it was. I just read through this thread and sobbed again. If bumping this gets a few more people onto the register then it'll all be good. You guys were there so much for me with the calls, so thank you all.

[lucykate]

oh misdee , it'll happen soon, x.

he could have mine, but its a bit knackered too. have got to get my gp to write a report before they will process my application for life insurance for our new mortgage.

[swedishmum]

Can't believe it was over a year ago. You've come so far. It will happen soon.xx

[catj]

Just read the whole thread (hadn't found MN back then). Hope that call comes soon. If it's any consolation it's prompted me into registering. ( for not doing it before)

[misdee]

catj, hows seren?

[catj]

She was transferred to our local hospital this morning as the next step before home. (More for my benefit than hers ) Feeling very nervous at the idea but so pleased that we've got this far.

[misdee]

oh thats great to hear. is she all lovely and pinked up now?

[catj]

I think so! \link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1700&threadid=181392&stamp=060611193546\picture here} The surgeon saw her yesterday and was impressed
