The waiting for a kidney transplant may generate fear, anxiety or longing. However, the desire for a healthier life should be stronger than any possible fear or risk to be taken. The waiting for a graft is similar to how a lover waits for the loved one and cannot see the moment of their reunion. This is pure longing. And should be like this for all the patients admited to a waiting process. The best way to cope with this waiting time, is to follow the therapy, eat correctly, practice sport and maintain a job. A full life as a human being, despite of all the limitations (food, travel, energy), is the secret to getting to a transplant in the best shape possible, body and mind.
