taarthi, The location of the kidney was pointed out to me by a very kind nurse when she sensed my concern about the procedure:-)

I hope that your wait time is going smoothly for you. Have you already packed your bags? I suggest that you pack a hand lotion that you enjoy, and a lipstick/lipgloss, maybe even a pair of ear rings (things that will make you feel good) as you complete your recovery. Also a pair of soft warm sweatpants will be nice to change into after you get rid of the hospital gown;-)
