Hey @deirdosh! Are you planning to be transplanted at our AZ, MN or FL campus? There is actually housing for transplant patients at all 3 Mayo Clinic campuses. MN housing: http://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/transplant-center/minnesota. AZ housing: http://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/arizona/travel-lodging-maps/lodging/village-mayo-clinic. FL housing: http://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/transplant-center/florida.

Kidney allocation is based on several factors, which can all affect your wait time: https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/learn/about-transplantation/how-organ-allocation-works/. Hope this helps!

Hello. thank you so much for your reply.<br />
<br />
I am scheduled for the AZ campus, so I will check on the link you sent. Perhaps they have a waiting list I can get on. Have you received a transplant there? If so, did you know beforehand when you needed to begin getting ready? <br />
<br />
How long were you actually at the hospital post-op, and how long before you were back at home? Did you stay at the Campus housing?<br />
<br />
Hope I am not wrong using this e-mail format to talk to you, so please forgive me if this is an inconvenience and let me know the correct way to do this.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for your help.<br />
<br />
Donald
