Current wait times for a cadaveric kidney transplant

I donated my kidney on 3/31/2022 at Mayo as my son needed a transplant . We were not a match so the shared donor program worked for us. I donated at Mayo Mn. and my kidney sent to recipient in NJ. Donor kidney from NJ went to recipient in Boston. Donor kidney from Boston brought to Mayo Mn. for my recipient son. All the above 6 surgeries done on 3/31/2022. I recommend finding a family member or friend who can be a live donor for you. Muchbetter than deceased donor. I am almost 72 and donated my kidney and had no problems

Hello...what a great journey. May I ask..did you experience sensitive skin around your midsection near the incisions? Its like touching a sunburn! Some days worse than others. I donated a kidney 6 weeks ago. I have used an ice pack since surgery but it's so sensitive to clothes linens etc.

@glengelmd1 Bless your heart! What a true delight to read the route your son's new kidney took to get to him. And it underscores what can be done these days, to get matches.
How are you and your son feeling these days?
