| frank | Posted At 13:04:13 11/25/2001 I had a kidney transplant over 21 yrs ago when I was 21.For the last year my creatinine has averaged around 5.0. I've had nine people tested and my sister-in-law was a match until the last test, a cat skan where they found kidney stones. I have 2 others who will be tested this week and God willingly one will be a match. If not I will be going on dialysis very soon. My blood tests have been good but the symtoms of a failing kidney have begun to take its toll. I am very thankful for having 21 years plus with my transplanted kidney from my mother. I have 4 children and have been married for over 13 years. I was on dialysis for 6 months before having my transplant in June of 1980. I try to accept the fate that God has given me and appreciate all the freedom from my 1st transplant. |
