OK....going to get a tattoo Friday I think. I have more scars over 25 yrs of dialysis of all types and 2 kidney transplants as well of the removal of all of th3 other kidneys plus many other surgeries for other reasons!!!

I am a bit worried about the pain but come on...I am a kidney patient...

Im thinking of a cursive L with a donor awareness ribbon in ther somewhere put on my left chest...well???
