My time has come up now. I have been 1 year on waiting list and we came to agreement with my neph that now would be good time to do the preemptive transplant as I have a approved donor available (my wife).
So the transplant is now scheduled on Oct 18, 2007.

How d you feel about it?
I guess I feel positively excited to get this now done and after that I can hopefully start doing again longer term plans, when this is not anymore lurking behind the corner. As I have lucky enough not to really have bad symptoms so far, I have not been too hurry pushing the surgery. My wife has been more pushing for me... However I surely understand from the labs that my kidney function is clearly decreasing faster than some years back and my function is now around 11-13%, so the time has come. My neph keeps also telling me about all the benefits of preemptive transplant. Now I started regular exercise 2 months ago and have been trying get myself to the best possible physical condition for the surgery. |

I am very happy for you! I was just curious how you felt because my husband is really insistent on donating. I am not quite at that point where I can wrap my hands around the idea of it. I hope it goes great for you and your wife. Lulu

Yes I am still scheduled for the action next week. We will have pre-ops on Tue and Wed and the surgery on Thu.
I am getting all the things ready for the surgery. 2 days work left and today I contacted the insurance company to initiate the short term disability claim.
