Congratulations!
Transplants generally get done at silly hours due to the logistics of getting the donor organs. Most donor organs are 'acquired' at around 6-8pm at night (issues of certifying brain death, organizing theatre time, logistics of getting recipients into hospital at short notice) and are then transported across the countryside to the respective recipients. Also because of their 'ad hoc' nature, theatre time is difficult to organize, so they are done when theatres are likely to be free.....at night.

Always been curious do you know anything about your donor.
Do not mean to be disrespectful

no, the doctors never tell you anything about the donor, they just say it's a good kidney, i got a 3 out of 6 (1/2) match which is considered prity good. you are allowed to write a letter to the donor family, but it goes through the hospital, so they don't know you and you dont know them. it is a shame for the loss of life, but it can be a god send to many people like me.
