Anyone else feel overwhelmed with the preparations? My recipient and I are going into the paired pool to test the waters for a CMV neg donor for her. We did the testing at the end of November and had a little delay due to a repeat 24 hr bp test. We got the news on December 28th that we are approved. There are so many moving parts that I don't even know how to beging to prepare to step away from my business, home and fur babies.

@multicitykitty, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing the great Christmas present that you and your recipient received on Dec. 28. That has to be the best Christmas present ever! I am recipient of a liver and kidney from an anonymous deceased donor. The preparations that my husband made were related to a longterm stay, so I would like to invite others who are involved with living donor/recipient experience to help me to help you.

@ktaubman, @fauneconner, @mauraacro Meet our newest member of 2018, @multicitykitty. You can read her post immediately above this one. Have you felt overwhelmed with making preparations for for your surgery?

@multicitykitty, Do you have any idea of where or even when your procedures might be scheduled?
We look forward to sharing and learning together.
Rosemary
