The hardest part is the wait. Take a number and keep with the faith. This site will help with the frustration and help bid :flower; :flower;e your time waiting for that gift. I'm a newbie and it's helped me immensely! :flower;

Good! How long is the wait in your area?
-
Okarol, around 1-1,5 years.

wow GT that is not a long wait at all! In my area in Ohio I believe it is around 5 to 7 years....eek!
I am wondering though if having O blood makes it longer since that is the only blood type you can accept....does anyone know?
xo,

Congratulation :clap;, I've been on the list since April of this year. I hate the wait and in our AREA is 1-5 years. I think that lenght of time is feeling more and more sick where it will get you off the list. I really think here in ABQ that they dont transplant from Cadavers . If you have aa family member who is willing it's quicker. I feel it has to do with money.. A cadaver cant pay.. I'm just saying. Why does it always take 1-5 years and most wait for 5 years or more.

Yes, those with type O blood may have a longer wait than average. At least that is what my transplant hospital told me.
