went to the unit with my sister on Wednesday (1 week before transplant). everything went well. but when i got home got a call from the surgeon saying that we need to delay the transplant for the 26th November!!!!! ???
Apparently she would like to have a specific urologist present in case of complications. and he on leave at the moment.

It might be hard to wait, but sounds like a good reason.  You are going to love that new kidney.  :2thumbsup;

You want the best possible outcome for the donor and the recipient. The postponement is a drag but hopefully is worth the wait.
Hang in there - best wishes to you both!

Hi Draven.  I am really excited for you and the 26th will come around really quickly.  As others have said they are doing the best for you and your donor by delaying. Still a great early Christmas present.  All the best.  Love Cindy. xx
