Transplant Social Worker

I just had a video call with my transplant social worker from UCLA. It’s another hurdle in the long path to a transplant. It’s actually the third time I’ve spoken to a social worker from UCLA; each time there’s a potential transplant surgery, I have to go through the entire process. The questions were pretty generic and I don’t think there were any problems or red flags. The only item that came up was having a backup caretaker post-surgery since my mom doesn’t like freeway driving. I spoke to my friend who was a potential live donor and he volunteered to help out. I gave his contact info to the social worker so I think that part is done. I just have to wait a month for the colonoscopy appointment.
