Thanks all for the kind encouragement and prayers. Had a long day of pre-op admission and testing today. I think I am ready for this and feel very thankful for my sister's generosity. I think the key to long term success will be my discipline in complying with post transplant immunosupressant therapy and exercise. My dad had the same thing and got his transplant in 1990. He kept his kidney 11 years before he died from complications due to a bladder infection. If I can stay healthy; conform to my diet and medications, I shoud expect to keep this kidney many years.
