@dshaver, I am dropping in to say hi. I hope that you are feeling okay. I know how slow time goes when waiting for a transplant. I did not have the option to get a living donor due to the urgency of my situation. I pray that you will get the transplant when the time is right for your needs. Take care of yourself, and be assured that you are not alone.

Hi Rosemary,
It has been a ruff month. My Kidney percent is down to 8. I have nephew who is being assessed for Paired Donation the week after Easter. Two people who have applied to be my donor have been told that there is a donor in evaluation and they are on hold. However no one can tell me if the person being tested is for Paired Donation or Direct Donation.

@dshaver, Oh my goodness. You are having a ruff month for sure.
I am not real knowledgeable on living donation, but I am pretty sure that any information about who/what/why of evaluations is strictly confidential. I do understand you wanting to know, though. You will most likely not know anything until everything is 100% certain

Thank you for the update. I will be praying that all will progress in a sequence that will best for you in the long term.

Are you on dialysis? I know that you must be worried beyond words.
Overall, how are you feeling?

Rosemary

Thanks for your support and prayers. I’m not on dialysis. Some days I’m my normal self with a lot of energy. Some days all I do is sleep. Recently I’ve been having insomnia. Sometimes I don’t sleep for days.
Thank Yoy
