I think this is all moving now. The Transplant Co-ordinator at Tim's hospital got on to me on Friday, just a day after his specialist appointment. They've had a look (a last!) at the results sent to them by my local transplant centre and need me to do a couple more tests and also see the consultant next Friday - that's a bit quick after six months of doing nothing. Then, if that's all OK, I'm booked to see the surgeon 13 days later. The HTA interview which I had been puzzled about (by its absence) will then happen after that.
The deal is that they are suggesting end May/early June for the operation, and we might also be on the cancellation list so it could be before then. As far as I can tell, from Tim's point of view this can't come soon enough.
One of the tests they want is an ECG treadmill test; presumably this is to make sure that I am fit enough (I think they are worried about my age) - I'd like to think that it wasn't done last year because they could see that I look damn fit, even though I say it myself. Still, it'll be good to actually meet these people at last!
