Post by: Kitsune on January 19, 2009, 01:43:21 PM: Update:

I just got called again, it isn't going to work out. Donor issue. Oh well, life's a b*** and then you die. Miy death will probably be on a machine. Will I ever get a kidney? :bump;

Getting a call is a very positive sign that you are on the radar. I know you must be disappointed but try to keep your hopes up!

I agree. I haven't ever had a call. I think I fell off the radar!!

A suspect kidney is one you don't want..... the next one will be yours. :cuddle;

Post by: kellyt on January 19, 2009, 02:29:41 PM: You will when the right one comes along! :thumbup; I agree with okarol - you're on the radar! Make sure you keep you phone handy and/or cell phone charged! You'll be posting about a 2nd call soon! Chin up! :cuddle;

Post by: RichardMEL on January 19, 2009, 03:52:35 PM: Kitsune try to not despair.. I called up and asked and they told me the issue was the fine until they mixed the donor blood with dragon blood and the kidney was found to not be totally compatable with dragons... they need a special kind. However they did inform me that dragon compatable kidneys are definitely out there and when the right match for you comes along you're right there at the top of the dragon kidney list!!!

Hang in there!! :grouphug; :grouphug; :grouphug;

Wattle.. I haven't had a call either... you know what I'm not even sure if they do the "standby" deal here... I think they call once the organ is matched to you and it's a firm offer.... Who knew you had tasmanian tiger kidneys??? just kidding you know I love you xoxox

Yeah, they said that it would be hard to cut through my wings and get a human kidney in there. But I'll be roaring and flying through the sky eating sheep soon.

Post by: G-Ma on January 19, 2009, 08:45:52 PM: Oh, I thought they just clip right under the left wing and slip the kidney in.

Title: Re: Just got called for a possible kidney
Post by: Sluff on January 20, 2009, 06:25:28 AM: It may be hard getting good and then bad news but it sure must be a good feeling to know you are close to getting a kidney. If this wasn't the right one for you then so be it. Dragons need the perfect kidney just for them. At least they haven't forgotten you.
Title: Re: Just got called for a possible kidney
Post by: paul.karen on January 20, 2009, 06:36:29 AM: Ah this is sad news.
I hope they will call you again in the very near future with a GREAT MATCH.
Im not much of a drinker anymore but ill have a beer for you until we can have one together.
Hope a Stella is ok...

Hang tough
