I got an email early morning Monday from National Kidney Registry that they had the test results and the next step was to choose a transplant center, who will review the results. I assume if the outcome was clearly negative (my serum albumin was slightly high) they’d have ruled me out? Anyway, I then had to choose a transplant center. The one closest to us, at Baystate in Springfield, has the Family Voucher program but not the full Donor Shield program so I hesitated at first – and NKR has a helpful warning that you can’t change your center after you choose it – but I have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and change my mind despite that, so I took the plunge. Got a phone call that same day from the nurse coordinator who seemed very nice. First thing is a day-long informational orientation where you meet with the surgeon, psychiatrist etc. w/o any medical testing, always on a Tuesday at 10am (worst day for me because there are standing meetings, but I’ll make it work). I’ll get a call probably Thursday to make the appointment. If they have an opening 1/21, that’s what I’ll pick. !!!
