So I had a few people who said they would test for donating, I'm not sure if anyone has called yet, the nurse cant tell me, for privacy reasons.Only the person can tell me whether they called or not......only one person told me so far and she been denyied by the doc for medical reasons. I really hope maybe more people will step up to be tested. Without willing people the wait list for a cadaver kidney is 6 to 8 years waiting list. And I duno if i could handle 6 to 8 more years of dialysis.
The donor processs takes a while for testing so you cant like say I'll call tomorrow over and over. theres an interview, then blood work and it goes on step by step.You dont even have to live in my area, you could be miles away. And like I said even if people dont think they are NOT compatiable, the doctors are doin incrediable things to make transplnat happen for a many people as they can.
Everyone is born with two kidneys but you only need one to function in daily life. And nowdays this surgery is prefected the scar in tiny, the healing process is a week or so. My mother and father cant be tested due to the fact that my mother already gave me one 11 years ago, and my father is a kidney recipient so he only has one.
Im not tryin to seam like im begging or complaining. Im just trying to open peoples eyes. I just dont anyone in my household who can, so I have to ask else where. I dont want to be stuck on dialysis 3 days a week for hours gettin the energy sucked out of me, to clean my blood. I dont wanna sleep the days away, and lose more friends, because people dont wanna deal with someone who has this stuff in her life. I want to be able to go to job interviews and have people not turn me down because they are not sure we are a "compatiable match." I want to be able to eat my favorite foods without feeling like im going to vomit afterwards.
People everyday in life tell themselves, I would donte, and put that dot on their license in case they dont make it out of a crash or something.
What if you could make a difference while your still alive? What if it was you goin through all this, what would you do?
There are 112,283 people in the United State alone waiting for a kidney.
Somedays it feels hopless and down
