This article originally appeared on Undark. David White was first evaluated for a kidney transplant in 2011, but it would be four years before he got the call that his turn had come. In between undergoing various forms of dialysis to do the job his kidneys couldn t and attending medical appointments to ensure he was healthy enough to survive the four-to-six-hour surgery, White busied himself with reading, exercise, and even trying to learn a new language to keep his mind off the fact that his kidneys were failing. During his initial evaluations, the then 49-year-old consulted with social workers and completed a test to measure his heart function. Although White s high blood pressure and kidney failure had taken a toll on his health, he says he sailed through the physical health checks with ease.
