The Diary of a Transplant, One Kidneys Journal

I have 4, she has none. She rents one of my houses and I haven't even asked her yet. Because I am afraid I won't be accepted. This is the story of my journey. An ordinary mother of 4, and a women who needs part of me just too live. I really hope it works!

OSCAR CALL LYDIA!

I am trying to use my psychic powers to get Oscar N to call me. I want him to let me know one way or the other. Oh the anticipation... I keep telling myself that if it's God's will then it will be. I know that even if the Dr's look at my CT scan and say ok then there are still some more steps to go through. I just can't wait for Dara to know that this is an option for her. I know that there are alot of people that are on Dialysis. It is a part of their every day life. I hope that I may help make her life a bit easier, and if I can't help her then I hope that someone else can soon. Oscar call Lydia, just call and say the Dr.s are reviewing the report. The whole process so far has been rather impersonal, and I found this to be odd as this seems to be a highly personal thing. How much more personal can you get. People seem to have a weird reaction to the living donor issue. Not that I've talked to many people about it. Half of the people while they think it is a very nice thing to do would not consider it and the other half wonder why the heck I'd do such a thing. There is a little risk involved as with any surgery but really the way I feel is that life in general is uncertain. It's not like I'm giving away a child, it's just a kidney for Gods sake. Most people have two of them. You only need one to live. I will be inconvenienced for a little while, but it is a chance to greatly improve someone elses quality of life. How many chances like that do you really have? Thats the way I see it any way. Really the hardest part of making his decision was working up the nerve to communicate my decision to my husband.
I was a little bit afraid that he would not support me. I couldn't do something like this without his support. He is genuinely a very loving person.
