There are a few places that are close by but as stated above contact the transplant team. TGH and all the hospitals have agreements with some of the smaller places downtown so you do not get killed on cost. Check into the Primrose on Carlton and Jarvis as well, it is student housing as well so I am sure it can be a little less expensive than others.

Wishing you an easy/speedy recovery.

All the best to you and your family. Ed

Hope and pray things get better for your health. That is quite the ordeal. Having loss of health sucks. Some people will never get it until it happens to them. Pray for speedy recovery. Godspeed. Pm if needed. 

Tamara and my thoughts are with you and your family ...

Wishing you the best of luck and a speedy and full recovery.

thank you

hi for the ones who ask to be kept inform ......on the progress ......the appointment on the 18 had lot of positive side ......while still not as encouraging when you look at it differently cause the transplant may happen but probably may be in a year or two ?? or i ll eventually die before

it will take the next 2 months just to finalize all this paper work before to be officially on the list .......after that it s like back to square one waittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
and hope that the pager that i ll have to carry ring or beep ....
time is the big question if a living donor match is found the hope become bigger if i have to wait for a liver from someone who pass away , chances get smaller

We will ALL "agree and pray" for a liver real fast    

And I pray you don't get one from some of these beer drinkers on here  lol    

God knows your needs and will supply  That is a promise

I wish you could have mine   Its a beer virgin    but I need it for 40-50 more years  (I'm 65)  

to be a match the person has to have the blood type first ......than need to be around the same height and weight ......5 feet 10 and 230 llbs and the liver as to be close to the same size .....and the person as to be living in ontario only for the cost of the surgery to be paid .....or if had someone from quebec where most of my relatives are i would have to come up with the cost of the surgery up front .......that number could easily reach in the hundreds of thousandsssssssssssss

Wow, didn't realize liver comes back so fast. Age, height and weight requirements as well. Really makes me more aware.

I think in general unless its happening to someone in our families or close friends, we don't consider donating. I donate blood but honestly never considered other donating.

 

Wishing all here that are  facing life threatening health issues get the break they deserve. You and your families will continue to me in my prayers to face the road ahead.

Thanks Janie if you visit the site call www.uhn.ca you ll see lot of info even if it is just for reading ......since i m kind of involve without any choice i been learning lot of things and also seen that lot of people are uneducated when it come to donating .......i tought my chance were all canada but no ...it s only ontario .......the list is probably in the thousands waiting .......the risk factor when donating 0.2 % out of 20,000......? with may be 3 days hospital

i would get in that Nova for a burn out even with a stranger lolllllllll
that was one of my dream project to finish mine a 71 Nova and get on the drag strip
but lot of those project will eventually be sold now that lot of things about life for me will become priority over cars

I've had family use the Delta Chelsea at Bay and Gerard, The nurses residence, and something to do with Womens Hospital. All these I was assisted by TGH transplant co-ordinator. I only had a Kidney transplant, simple surgery compared to liver. I don't buy lotto tickets as I've already won the Organ for Life Lotto (actually I married her, my wife and I matched better than most siblings). Listen to the nurses and doctors they know what they are doing. Remember, rejection is common, fight through it if it happens. 

Good luck
