Title: New to all of this.....
Post by: embcee2000 on January 04, 2009, 11:49:02 AM

Hi.....I am here because my father who is now ESRD said it would be a good site to get a better understanding of dialysis. I have sent in all my paperwork to see if I may be able to donate my kidney. I decided in a split second that I needed to do this for my father. I am a little scared but even more afraid to lose my dad......I have already learned alot from this site. Thank you....

Welcome!  Any surgery is scary, but what a wonderful gift you're offering your Dad.  I pray for the best for both of you!
