UCLA Cardiology

As I mentioned in my previous post, my appointment at UCLA was really quick. I saw an assistant who took my blood pressure and updated my medicine list. Then the cardiologist came in and talked to me for 5 minutes and was done. He did say he reviewed my echo-cardiogram and other notes from St. Joseph Hospital and everything seemed fine. He then said he will send a note to the transplant center so they can take me off hold. It took me longer to walk to his office from the parking lot than the actual appointment. BTW, it’s an hour drive each way and parking was $13.

I guess I’m back on the active transplant list again. I did read that live donor transplants were considered elective surgery and most hospitals are only doing deceased donor transplants. At least when the quarantine is over, we can hopefully start planning the transplant.
