2nd evaluation

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just wanted to drop a line to ask for a few extra prayers. As most

of you know I am leaving for Cleveland today to be evaluated at

Cleveland Clinic Foundation, to be listed for the second time. I have

been more anxious the past few days than I ever dreamt I would be and

I'm not really sure why. My guess is it's two-fold, one is my less than

wonderful experience lately with , and two, I'm not looking

forward to going through the entire process again. Having HE just

magnifies the stress of it, since I am concerned that I will not be

able to say/ask what I want and/or comprehend the answers. Then, of

course, there's the added emotional reactions, compliments of HE, as

well.

I'm sure that everything will work out fine in the end, I just like

knowing that others are praying for the anxiety to subside and clarity

to kick in, to help ensure this evaluation is a good experience for me

overall. With any luck they will seek, and be granted, exception points

for me and get me higher up on the list than I am here.

Today, before I leave, I have to run by the lab and get my MELD score

recalculated to stay listed in this region, with . I am curious

to see if my INR is still a 4.5 if they will refuse to submit it again.

Needless to say, I will be angrier than I was the last time, as I have

had enough of their unexplained/unjustified decisions.

Okay, so prayers that I don't get nasty with , may be in order,

too! :-)

Thanks to all of you who are always ready with a prayer, support, or a

kind or humorous word! This is an amazing group!!!

Sincerely,
