My husband listed at 2 different transplant centers, based on what his insurance would cover. The center he ended up at was about 175 miles away, which he drove to when the call came in. The kidney was harvested at 4:30pm, and the surgery for him was at 8:30pm. Our friend was just transplanted Tues 28 Aug, and drove from Los Angeles to Mayo Arizona when they called her. Remember that your time on dialysis [how long you've been getting dialyzed] is used to determine your place on the list. Good luck,
Ginger
