In this episode, Lois Strachan and Jeremy Opperman discuss the final steps taken to confirming the date of Lois's kidney transplant surgery.

During the conversation they explore the impact that a 10 week wait for approval from the Department of Health had on Lois, the intervention of Dr Karl le Roux in facilitating the process, and Lois’s preparations for the surgery and recovery.

Lois also expresses her extreme gratitude to the many people who assisted, encouraged and supported her on the journey of dialysis and the transplant.

A note on timing: this episode was recorded at the beginning of June 2026, a week before the surgery was due to take place. Due to Lois’s recovery, it is only being released in October, approximately 4 months later.
