I want share this information from UNOS on May 29. I know that this will be good news for all our members who are waiting for a transplant evaluation or who have been on inactive status.

According to UNOS, the number of transplants performed in the last two weeks in the United States, has leveled off to where they were before the pandemic. This is an excellent and easy to understand at-a-glance visual aid, so I invite you to click on the blue link.

It has been too quiet for too long.
How are you getting along after being on pause for these past weeks? What is the organ transplant that you need?
What are you hearing from your transplant center?
What are your thoughts or questions as you move forward ?

I'm caught up in the Mayo Scottsdale / Insurance verification hold for a kidney transplant. Very frustrating since all referrals went in before Covid. Now everything apparently has to be re-issued by my kidney doc. Meanwhile, I have two living donors in the wings awaiting my evaluation to see if I'm even a viable candidate for a transplant. The social worker at my dialysis center stands fast to that it may take 4 or more weeks for the paperwork to go through... It IS very frustrating. Any advice how I can expedite this process?
