On Friday, my coordinator called and let me know that my sister is my match. I have been overwhelmed with emotion ever since, my emotions are up , way up, and way way up. I do hope that this all mellows out over time because I do find it very exhausting. I am thinking that my transplant its self will be in September.  Kim |

Thats great news Kim. I felt the same way when they called me and said my brother was a perfect match. I was so excited not to have to go to dialysis anymore. I hope all works out well for you and your sister.

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Wooohooo! - all right, everybody sing along with this one. . .  Song: We Are Family by Sister Sledge (CHORUS:) We are family I got all my sisters with me We are family Get up ev'rybody and sing Ev'ryone can see we're together As we walk on by (FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather I won't tell no lie (ALL!) all of the people around us they say Can they be that close Just let me state for the record We're giving love in a family dose (CHORUS x2) Living life is fun and we've just begun To get our share of the world's delights (HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future And our goal's in sight (WE!) no we don't get depressed Here's what we call our golden rule Have faith in you and the things you do You won't go wrong This is our family Jewel (REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE) |
