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;
