Title: Kidney Transplant
Post by: ndl0520 on September 24, 2008, 10:21:48 PM

Hello all,

I thought I share some good news with you guys.  On 09/13/08, I receieved my kidney transplant.  I got the call to come to the hospital on 09/12/08.  It was the best phone call I ever received.  I started dialysis on Jan 08.  On April 08, I was put on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.  I only had to wait 4 months to get this special call.  I wasn't expecting it because I thought it takes 3-5 yrs to wait for a possible kidney transplant.  No words could describe how I feel right now.  My new kidney was a perfect match and came all the way from Hawaii.  For those that are waiting, keep the faith.  Your time will come.  I was just discharged from the hospital last monday 09/22/08.  I spent 11 days at the hospital.  To everyone on this board.  I would like to thank all of you.  I will continue posting on this board for you are family to me.
