I hadn’t thought about one but I think I will get one AFTER my transplant. There seems to be so much to do! House/cat sitter, clothes to pack, visit Trans House, get house clean before I go go down, etc....
How do you all manage getting ready?

@judyth I made a list of what needed done and just worked on one or two things a day. First and foremost I had our bag packed for the call. Every few weeks I'd go through it and change what clothes were in it depending on the weather. I also had a list of last minute things to put in the suitcase, like meds and etc. We were lucky in that we had church friends and family that dog sat for us. It all falls into place.

@judyth, Yes, there is so much to do, and I know from my own experience that your head must be spinning. Be assured that you are not alone in the confusion and stress of the pre-planning.
Here are some conversations that I want to share with you. I invite you to join into the conversations- just jump right in. You are welcome anytime/anywhere! You will meet others who are going thru the same thing. Don't be put off by the designation of Liver or Kidney - It is all about getting ready!
