@threerrr3 There is a lot to be said about being aware of your transplant, your health, your diet, your exercise plan, and how you live your life; it's all connected. Making sure you have the best that you can out of everything goes a long ways to keeping transplanted organs going healthfully. In our monthly kidney support group we have seen people that have kidneys transplanted over 40 years ago! There's also the markers for a transplanted organ, that is how well a match the organ was to the recipient. Because this gift is coming from your sister you may have an up Point on that. Sitting here in cold California hoping that you have a successful surgery and uneventful recovery!
