Be sure to keep on top of that, so you are removed from inactive status as soon as you're eligible.

I feel like I should be more excited and happy than i am. I'm not sure why I feel this way. I've heard quite a few bad things about OSU transplant center from several people who ended up switching to another transplant center, so maybe that's it. I just feel very confused right now.

Great to read you are listed, PBear!!! Here is wishing you get called right away!!!  My husband is currently listed at three hospitals; if you are doubtful about the one you are on, look into others within your allowed area that you would feel more comfortable with Anne |

YAYYY Padd! Getting listed is a giant hurdle. I wasn't what I would call happy or excited when I got listed, it was more a sense of relief that things were moving in the right direction. Good luck to you!
