Kidney donation?

[kuhio98]

Anyone ever donated a kidney -- or received a kidney donation?

My Mom needs a new one soon. My sister smokes. My brother has diabetes, so I may be the best chance. We're undergoing testing and all that, but I was just wondering if anyone else had gone through this and could give us advice on the procedure or recovery time, etc.

Thanks!

Kuhio,

I've never had to donate a kidney nor have I needed one (thank God). I hope you're a match. Such an unselfish thing you are doing. I would've given anything to keep my Mom alive. You are a very strong person and I have the utmost respect and admiration for you, Kuhio.

Have a very wonderful and Blessed Holiday!!

Love,

Donna and fur crew
