On the Kidney Transplant List?

It's torture when you are waiting to hear that an organ's available. 

You've probably done everything that your coordinator has recommended. What else can you do?

Waiting for Someone to Rescue me from Kidney Failure

I hear you.  Yesterday's session in Nashville, "How to Have Your Donor Find YOU!" was an opportunity to meet some of you.Click here to see the clip with Harvey.

 The wait is discouraging. The statistics are overwhelming. And, you're tired.  Many of you have been on dialysis and spend more that half of your week exhausted. Kidney disease is affecting every organ in your body.

There is hope.  The Living Kidney Donor Network provides information to help you find a donor.  Harvey Mysel, director of the network said something that rang true for me.

There are people who are willing to be living donors.  The way to reach them is TELL YOUR STORY.  That's how I was moved to step forward for my cousin.

We lived 900 miles apart. It had been over 35 years since we'd seen each other.  It wasn't until she started telling her story that I reconnected.

 Have Your Donor Find YOU!

For the second time, the AAKP (American Association of Kidney Patients) has invited Harvey Mysel, director of the Living Kidney Donor Network, to facilitate a workshop at their National Patients Meeting at the Nashville Marriot. When I was considering donating a kidney, I learned a lot from Harvey's website.  We're going to go live right before the session gets going. Tune in at 12:30 CST.  I'll introduce you to Harvey and some of the folks involved with the American Association of Kidney Patients.  I also hope to meet some of the folks who, just like you, need to find a donor. 

 There a few spaces left.
