Stay with it!: The average wait time is about 18 mths. So your doing well. Maintain your weight and level of activity. Try to stay compliant with your exercise. Try to stay up to date with immunizations and regular follow up visit. Positive attitude is the best right now. Stay in regular contact with the transplant center and just call the coordinator ever so often to remind them. Good luck.
