I am a recipient of liver/kidney from deceased donor. So I assure you that your intention to donate a kidney is a prime example of human goodness. I would be honored to include you in my prayer intentions.
I am a very non medical person, and I was amazed at the compassion and the skill that was demonstrated by all who took care of me at Mayo.
I love your experience with the 18hr Blood Pressure cuff! I usually get caught in the middle of crossing a street when mine goes off.

I hope you will continue to update your progress here on Connect. Anytime that you want to read, or join into any of the discussions, or even begin a new discussion, I extend you a sincere welcome.
Have you visited the Transplant Pages? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/transplant/

Rosemary,
Thank you for suggesting the transplant pages. I found several helpful articles there! You are such a great facilitator btw!

@rosemarya I wore a 24 hour blood pressure monitor from Friday after until Saturday afternoon. It pumped up every half hour, hourly during night/sleeping hours, but never made any noise! I did find it annoying though. I am hoping that my BP won't be enough of a problem to prescribe medication, I think I take enough already, just no BP medication.
