Hello, @luna69. I think that your fear is a healthy sign because it shows that you understand the seriousness of organ donation. I can add that from my own experience as a recipient, that I felt the same way as I waited for my transplant surgery. Your concerns and questions are an important part of your journey to organ donation. I'm happy that you have joined Connect so that you will be able to hear from others who can support you along the way. I wish you safe travels tomorrow as you begin your journey to Columbia and I wish you to have an informative evaluation. Be sure to ask questions and take notes while you are there. Keep in mind a most important fact: the evaluation is to be absolutely certain that you are healthy enough to have a successful surgery and recovery.
I would like to encourage you to scroll back to the posts that Colleen shared on Mar 4 about other members who have shared their experiences. I think that you will feel more confident as you read about their kidney donation stories.

I invite @danhoe, @mauraacro, @glengelmd1 to this discussion. What advice do you have to offer to Luna? Were you afraid? How did you overcome your greatest fears about donation?

@luna69 , Will you be visiting your dad?
