Thank you all for the great information! I'm so glad I found this site & group! It's so nice to hear how everything is doing on the donor end. I am now officially a living kidney donor for my husband! I had my evaluation the first week of March and we found out last week. We haven't set a surgery date yet but we anticipate it will be this summer.

After spending 4 days at Mayo Jax for my evaluation, I am waking up this morning still in awe of the magnitude of care given there. Disneyworld for the sick!
Everyone was so nice..like they were born on a different planet... I had a multitude of tests completed during those days along with superior educational classes and interviews with specialists to determine my status.
Our accommodations at the Holiday Inn Express were excellent. It was clean quiet and friendly. They had a full breakfast and evening happy hour with cheese and crackers and a variety of drinks. They also had a shuttle to Mayo which was only 10 minutes away. Definitely our home port for short stays.
I will share more as I can. My daughter is coming from NJ on Sunday and we are going to daytrip to Mayo for the last appointments on Monday.
It's an exciting an anxious time of my life...but I know I am doing the right thing and am in the best hands.
Everything happens for a reason.......carry on.....

Your in good hands

@rosemary That is so cool. It would be an honor to cross paths with members from Mayo Connect. That takes connect to an entirely new level
