Alrighty
Alrighty well i guess i better fill in all of my friends and whoever reads this... Well here it goes.
Today i went to the doctors office for the prelim exam before my transplant. they said they are thinking its gonna happen in about six months, so that doesnt make me happy. and i found out that my mom wont be able to donat her kidney because she has high blood pressure so there are two sides to that. the bad side is that of course she feels bad because she cant help me out.. which i totally understand.. and the good side is that she cant give me her kidney which truly makes me happy because i never wanted to risk her healt for mine. i know she would totally argue that point with me but if something were to happen to her i would never be able to forgive myself. if i sounded like an arogant ass there im sorry, im truly not. so my brother has offered to get tested to see if he can donate, whiich means SO much to me. its a really big deal for him to even suggest that.. i mean when he first did i nearly cried.so yeah there going to test him in about a week and then we will know if he can donate. ut in the meantime i have been entered onto the California Donor list.. whch is a 3 and 1/2 year waiting period (talk about your private club jeesh) and my kidney wont even make it that long so i would have to be on dialisis for the time being. so that means this A) a new way of life B) no school for a year C) no work at all D) no over exertion which means anything more than lifting a jar of peanut utter, which i would be able to eat. so yeah that is my like at this point in time
P.s. If you or anyone you know are interested in donating a kidney or any organ to a child in need let me know and i can give you contact info for the transplant coordinator at Licile Packard Childrens Hospital in stanford
