Don't worry about the surgery.  I had mine after I had been exhausted by 8 years of dialysis, during which my hemoglobin had been too low to do any exercise at all, and yet everything went fine.  If you are like most people, you will be pleasantly surprised at how simple the transplant turns out to be.  In my case I had absolutely no pain at any time from the operation, and the only thing that tickled a bit was the urinary catheterization to keep urine from flowing during the operation.  I was up and around three days later and on a plane back home with more energy and alertness than I had had for years.  Overall, I would say that the medical disruption of my life during the week I had surgery was less unpleasant than the disruption caused during the average month of dialysis.

Status update. Transplant done yesterday surgery took 95 minutes. After surgery I was in ICU until today morning when I was taken to my regular room. I feel good and walked already to visit my wife in different floor. Crea was 7.8 before surgery, after surgery it was higher but today morning it was down to 2.8! So everything looks good so far. Actually I seem to be in better shape than my wife.
