A Life Examined


 Oh My God
Back to Full Blog  

I just got a call from the transplant center, they are getting ready to harvest a kidney that might be a match for me.

After the kidney is removed from the body they will take some tissue from it and place it in a small container containing my blood. Then they wait about 4 hours, if the tissue remains red I will go in for the operation.

If the tissue turns black that means that my antibodies killed it and I can't have the kidney.

This is the second time I got a call like this, the last time was 2 years ago, but that match didn't work.

So right now I need your prayers and positive energy more than ever.

Meanwhile I have to go shave my legs and make sure my house is in order, and try to calm down.

Thanks Dixie, I should know if I have to go to the hospital in a couple more hours. I am so nervous and scared about the operation.

I appreciate your prayers

Damn, Gina - - that's exciting, and scary, and kind of sad (kidney donor-wise), and hopeful.........but the practicalities of stuff like leg-shaving WILL intrude, won't they?????

Wishing you kidney-matches.
