Patient received a kidney only at 6 months on the list??

That's really nice of you to take the time to visit with him.  I'm sure he appreciates it very much!  Do you get to go by and see him on a fairly regular basis?  Is he holding up OK?

I don't go on a regular basis anymore for a couple of reasons. He's on my old shift, which is Tue/Thur/Sat afternoon - and I'm working for 2 of those days, and usually doing other things on the Sat - plus I really don't want to intrude too much on the staff or patients. I do drop by the unit when I am in for labs or clinic because it's right there, but that's usually a Fri or Mon morning, so he's not around. So I may drop in on a sat afternoon but yeah it's not so much these days. I did make that special effort though because one of the nurses gave me the heads up since she was worried and knew we were friendly, which was nice so I hope it cheered him up a bit that I came along.
