@taarthi Receiving a kidney either via living donor or cadaver donor has its pluses and minuses in preparation. In your case, you can attend to household things knowing you have a set date and chance to pack what you need. Nohing wrong in taking those afternoon naps! My husband had a cadaver donor and the call was "come immediately"; the transplant center was almost 2 hrs away. He dropped everything including leaving dishes in the sink and everything else in the house pretty messy as he scrambled around to get his medications packed. In fact, he never even took a change of clothes! [We were barely starting to date at that point] You know that all of us here are wish you nothing but the best for you and your husband in your upcoming joint adventure and adventure it will be. We look forward to hearing from you.

That is a beautiful story, ginger! How long ago was his transplant? And when did you get married?

@gingerw We too dropped everything when I got the call. I wanted to take a shower, I hadn't taken one yet that day, but they said no, to get right there. We got there in mid-afternoon but the transplant did not occur until 12:30 A.M.!
