Welcome frankieb. My name is keith. i am on dialysis for the second time. I had a transplant from 93 to 04. i had a perfect match from my brother. Sitting back in that chair again can be depressing. I waited till my creatine was 10.6. I could hardly move my body was so sore. when i finally gave in it took a day or two to get to feeling better. I am on the list here in Pennsylvania. I am on dialysis now for three years. i hope to hear more from you. If you have the time try out the chat room. take care.

Hi donna, I was on dialysis before for a little over a year. It was during this time my brother greg gave me one of his kidneys. The tests aren't that big of a deal. Allot has changed. There is blood samples, x-ray's, ekg's etc... They just check and make sure are able to go through with it. You will have a psych. test well it's not a test you just sit and tell who ever that yes you really want to give a kidney. Sometime people can make a decision too fast. they just want to be sure you can handle it. When i received my kidney people were more interested in my brother than me!!! By the way that is how he met his wife.
