Expecting Transplant

So I've (25m) just been added to the transplant list and am expecting a transplant very soon. They told me about 3 to 6 months. I've been on peritoneal dialysis for many years and this will be my 3rd transplant. Both ones previoulsy failed one due to infection and that's what I'm concerned about. I'm really scared of this new transplant because i'm afraid it will fail and i'll just have to go through another transplant for nothing. I'm also scared it will change my appearence like it did with my second transplant. When I had my second transplant my face became all puffy and I got bad acne. I also got a mrsa infection in my lip that makes the left part of my lip apper swollen. I'm scared of this because i haven't been dating while I was on dailysis and now that i'm older and expecting a transplant I want to find love. I'm just scared that things could be bad and could use some encourgement.
