Hi txpal!

I have had similar feelings since being added to the list a few months ago. Although I have a potential living donor, the anxiety remains. I had hoped to have my donor approved already, but now have oto wait another 4 weeks for him to have one last test run…. The anxiety is very difficult to cope with at times. The only thing I have found for relief if to try and live for today. We have no control over what happens in the future and there is no way of knowing how long we have to wait for “the call”. As long as I have a go bag ready, and keep my phone handy, I have been looking at this as my time to get exercise and eat right so I will be stronger when the time comes. I hope that helps a little, and wish you all the best!

Yes and it helps to know someone else experiences the same feelings. It's like a roller-coaster for me, as soon as I forget about the transplant and try to just live a normal life, something happens and I know I have to be ready on-the-spot for the phone call. Thanks for sharing your experience!
