Thanks for the great tips. I am so lucky to have a daughter who is a match! I am having my colonoscopy (Mayo required) next week and she had her 4 days of testing two weeks ago and, barring anything off on my colonoscopy, we should be ready to go! We still need to visit the GOL House soon to become acquainted. I keep thinking that when I wake up after my surgery I will jump off the op bed and dance around with all my new energy. How long is the usual hospital stay? Also, what is the oldest person to have a transplant that you all know?

In my mind I wanted to jump out of bed, but my strength had been depleted by the length of time with my organ failure. I did, however have a deceased donor.
I found this bit of information to share, it might give you some kind of age related information.
