@melabel, Welcome to Connect. Golly, that has to be a disappointment for you. However during this current coronavirus pandemic, things have to be handled differently. I hope you find some comfort in knowing it is for you and for your donor to get the best possible outcome.
I want to invite you to the following discussion and meet another member with an approaching kidney transplant date. You two might be able to help each other.

@melabel - It has been a while since we heard from you, and I'm wondering how you are doing? You mentioned that your March 26 kidney transplant surgery has been postponed, and that has to have been extremely disappointing for both you and your donor.

It is my understanding that transplant surgeries have resumed in many areas, with added safety protocol.
How are you getting along? Have you heard from your transplant team or been rescheduled for your surgery?
