I know I freaked everyone out yesterday, but I too was freaked out. A lot of people are asking questions that I really don't know the answer to. I will answer what I can and if you need more info, please just ask.
everyone has 2 Kidneys. Both of mine are shot, so therefore I need a transplant. A living donor is someone that is "compatible" with things other then just blood type. Dr. Plumb won't even tell me my blood type because it has nothing to do with the donor. People can live with just one Kidney. People donate Kidneys all the time, and I guess it isn't even that major of a surgery in the doctor/nurses eyes... like transplants are done daily. Isn't that just amazing?!?
My insurance will cover the donors hospital stay. There is a healing process of what I think is a few weeks. So in my big, kind heart, I would obviously help out with those expenses. Maybe your job would be so gracious to give some extra time of vacation, I mean you are saving someones life. :)
I am not sure if any questions were answered, but those are 2 of the major ones I have been asked. Again, when/if you contact the nurse(s) they too can assist you with questions. Also, feel free to call them with any types of questions... that is why they are paid, to help patients and the people who love the patients.
Thanks for the support. Thanks for the pep-talks. Thanks for everything!! I really am ok. Promise!!!
