Inquiry

Received a call from a "friend of a friend" whose mother needs a kidney transplant. Gladly told him that I would submit my medical tests to his mother's hospital (NYU) to see if we're a possible match.

Article

A very nice article was written in the local newspaper, The Sentinel. I'm glad that the hospital wants to generate some positive PR about my situation and I hope that it causes some people to stop and think..."why can't I do that..."

As a result of that story, some folks have emailed me about their personal experiences or just to say some nice things. Thank you all!

No News

Heard from NKR yesterday....still no match. I asked what the "normal" time was to find a match and the reply was....."could be days....could be six months." Hmmm....I thought that there would be recipients-in-waiting. Guess not. At least not any for which my antigens are enough of a match. Nothing to do but wait.

Waiting

It's now July 1, and no word from NYP or NKR. Oh well, they said it could be several weeks before a match could be found. Getting somewhat nervous. Probably normal. I hope.
