Sorry.  I don't know what else to say.  I'm sitting here trying to think what would make me feel "better" if in your situation and there is absolutely nothing.

When I made it through my mother's funeral still standing I thought to myself "I really am a strong woman".  But I believe going through living donor testing will be my ultimate test of strength.  And then, of course, there's dialysis.

God Bless You.  We're here.

donnia, I'm so sorry to hear that she didn't work out. The team will find you the best kidney they can, though...that's what they do all the testing for. Take care of yourself and take time to grieve. Then keep us updated on how the others go.

Donnia,

I just now noticed this thread.  So sorry your donor
did not work out.  I will pray that this next person
will be the one for you- and never, ever lose faith!

Thank you all for your kind words of support.  I have one who is already a match and 2 more doing their labs.... I am praying one will be able to give me a kidney.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Once when she is tested, she should find out within a couple of weeks.  My brother and I could have scheduled our transplant anytime we wanted, generally about a month wait I believe because they only do the surgeries on certain days, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

sorry it took me awhile to see this.
