 I finally have a date of transplant. My primary ins. will lapse on April 30th, making Medicare my primary on May 1. This means I can have my transplant in Lubbock. Sooooo.... we have already set a date of June 5th!!!!!!  I really like the people at Lubbock Covenant! If anyone else has had any experience with them, I would like to hear about it.

I have Alport's Syndrome. My kidneys failed when I was 14 and I was on PD for five years before receiving a kidney transplant from my mother. That kidney failed in 2004 and I've been back on PD ever since. I am undergoing treatment for my high antibodies at Cedars-Sinai medical center. I had a kidney transplant on June 10, 2008. My boyfriend was the donor.
