All the tips are good. When my husband received his kidney transplant, we were still in the early stages of our relationship, and already lived 100 miles apart. He had asked me to be part of his caregiver team 6 months before his transplant. The transplant center was more than 200 miles away from me. I drove down every Friday morning through Tuesday morning for 2 months [his daughter who lived 60 miles away spelled me]. Thanks to an understanding boss I got through it all. We used that time to really bond, and find out our relationship was special. We attend a support group as a couple now, the same support group we met at.
