ok i am working with shands in gainesville, and they told my brother that he would have all the testing in one, will tnhat include the renal arteriogram... is there any special things he needss to ddo to prepare, i told him take someone with him and have any question he has ready
Shands has a different process than Mayo. I know it's just a few miles between the two, but they do things drastically different. From what I've heard from my friend who has had two transplants at Shands, the process is much quicker there. GL!

Don't know how i missed this for so long but better late than never, yay wonderful news how are u feeling? Not long now!! My transplant is the week before yours, the 29th May, and mine is coming from a 66 yr old too, my dad :) I cannot wait but am nervous too! Good luck hope to catch up with u when we both have our 'new' kidneys (altho i always joke its not really 'new' as it's double my age+6 :) however seeing as it functions like it's 40 thats fine by me  ;D xx

I had my transplant on Monday!!! I'm sitting in a hotel around the corner from Mayo recovering. I'm just starting to feel normal again after being all jacked up on steroids. Everything went great, and my donor is home doing well too. :)

That's great news! I was thinking of you and whether you scheduled your transplsnt and I stumbled across your post that it's already happened! I'm very happy for you and glad to hear both you and your donor are doing well!
