I've been approved for a kidney transplant! I go to the "activation" class next Wednesday, November 19 to do tissue typing and to get the ball rolling. My brother Randy has graciously offered to get tested to be a donor and he'll go first. Other family members and friends have expressed an interest in getting tested, of which I am so grateful and appreciative for the support. Hopefully I'll only need to have one person tested, and my best chance of getting a perfect match kidney is from either my brother or my sister. If it turns out Randy'll be my donor, I will be forever indebted to him. I'm nervous and apprehensive about the transplant, but it is necessary.
