     For anyone experiencing a stroke (and otherwise healthly)  please do not feel you cannot be a live donor. 
     I received good news today and it pertains to Victor, my partner who is in need of a live donation or dialysis.  He had a stroke 16 days ago and his physical rehabilitation physician, neurologist and nephrologist have expressed that his stroke has not affected the function of his kidneys.  Who would have guessed -- I remain dumbfounded and with great joy.

Are you saying if you have a stroke you can still be a live donor??  Probably NOT since you have to go through a bunch of mental tests and even if you have "depression" they tell you NO.  You have to be healthy to be a live donor.  Something is "wrong" if you've had a stroke.

If Victor needed dialysis before the stroke he will still need it.  The stroke may not have advanced his condition but it didn't reverse it either.

Sorry to burst your bubble.              :waiting;

Sounds like good news to me, Melanie. I hope Victor also sees the good side of this.
