Glad you joined us.

No, unfortunately I do not qualify for a transplant, Finding a kidney that would fit me would be nearly impossible until they are able to create specific kidneys...someday

I have done a little research on the Conkling name and the furthest back I can get is about 1780's in New York on my line but I havent been able to find an official connection of where they came from before that.

Post by: conkling86 on March 23, 2010, 04:27:50 PM: Mimi~ my major problems is the veins and artery's don't really match up to "normal" kidneys so they say it will nearly impossible to find a match that will work for me.

Post by: galvo on March 24, 2010, 04:15:36 PM: Andrew, the 'Conkling' name appears to be of Dutch origin, originally 'Konkelen'. It's original meaning was eitherr one who plots or conspires, or a descendent of the petty king or chieftan.
