Transplant Evaluation - What to expect

@dhelmstetter There is a growing body of evidence that seems to indicate upper aged donors can successfully donate a kidney. It is their health and mental evaluations that decide, not necessarily age. The testing performed on both donor and recipient is extensive, and the transplant team wants both parties to be able to undergo the procedures successfully.

I hope you do not have to wait much longer to start the evaluation process!

I just finished a questionaire this afternoon on the phone. Looks like with the backlog from COVID, they might not start the evaluations until AUGUST! Yikes! I'm growing impatient!!
