So I got the call for a kidney the other day and it wasn't a match :(    :'( :'( :'(  It really sucks since it is right around the holidays and I was stuck there for 7 hours before I knew.  Its kinda bittersweet because this kinda means I am on the top of the list... right?


PS. All I could think about while I was waiting was a situation I had at dialysis the other day :  I started cramping and a lady who was getting off wheeled up to me and said "If you bear down like you have to poop, it will help with the cramping." LOL That really brought a smile to my face... :rofl;

Hang in there - getting a call means you are near the top of the list.  Hopefully, the next call is your match!

Good news/bad news.   I am sorry it didn't work out. It is reassuring to know the possibility could be soon. 2010 will be a great year for you!   :2thumbsup;

Also, I have a ?  My blood is like 89% desensitized from the first transplant, does this mean none of the kidneys may not match or what?
