PF,

1st thing you need to do is notify your Human Resources Department that you are sick, and 'may' need to go on Disability, and make sure you do it from your Personal email, and save a soft copy and hard copy (print it out)...

You really don't want to be fired due to your illness, and once they are notified in writing, I don't think they can fire you...

Next you obviously have your mother to help you out, and you WILL need her to help you... Especially if you decide to go for transplant...

Luckily you are in Seattle, and are near one of the best transplant centers in the USA...

I just went through transplant on Halloween, really tough, but doable...

Best of luck to you and God Bless...
