Pre-transplant appointment

[Guest guest]

I meet with the transplant surgeon, Dr. Greigg, at Toronto General Hospital on Monday morning. I am a little apprehensive now that this point has been reached.

Any words of wisdom or questions you think I need to ask while I'm there?

Debbie--

I'm too late to give you questions to ask your surgeon as you met with him

tomorrow. Should the opportunity come up, however, I would ask someone

exactly what to expect when you arrive at the hosp. after you've been called

to go for the tx. I'm in a quandry about that and really wish I knew what to

expect. Mine never told me and at the time I never thought to ask -- too

overwhelming w/all the other people I met, info. I rec'd.

Best of luck

Laurie,

Have you seen this site? Maybe it will help with some of your questions.

I'm sure there are other sites available too but this is one I found.
