---|---|
have any of you ever thought about being a kidney donor
and if so would you be willing to donate to a complete stranger if they ask you out of the blue i have had problems with my kidneys for the past 24yrs but have been on dialysis for 2yrs now ... anyone that is willing ot donate or live in the oregon area let me know and we can get it started... must not have any health issue to be compatible with donor |

once i am dead they can open me up and take everything they want.
|
|
|
|
i'd be happy to help , if i was much closer to you , though , i cant even donate blood right now so not sure bout kidneys
i pray that you find a donor quickly that is compatable |
|
|
|
yep, i'd be happy to.
except for that whole being broke thing...and living in arkansas. |

Yes......I have it on my licence that I am organ donor....I have made it very clear that when I die i want my organs donated to someone and not just to "science".
My ex husband needed a kidney and still does but due to his ethnicity he couldnt take mine. |
|
|
|
what does this entail?
|
|
|
|
My best friends 11 year old son is on the transplant list for a kidney.
We are awaiting the results to see if I match. Poor lil man. |
|
|
|
princess what did that entail? seeing if u were a match?
|
|
|
|
doesnt a kidney have to be a certain size?
|
|
|
|
I hope he gets it. It entails not much but about 13/15 criteria buttons.....
I got the info from the mail.....or you can get it from the hospitals..... or check out websites on it........ People who need kidneys are usually on dialysis for at least 4 hours 3 -4 days a week every week. Their diet is very strict and so is their liquid intake...... A live donor will maybe give that person 20 years.......a kidney from a cadaver will give them maybe 10 extra years.... |

Bunch of medical questions and blood work. Very simple.
|
|
|
|
noone would want my organs by the time i'm done with them
|
|
|
|
interesting........ so they can live a whole 10 yrs longer with a living persons kidney?.... and its just blood tests?
|
|
|
|
so princess its blood type perhaps?
|
|

Yes......I have it on my licence that I am organ donor....I have made it very clear that when I die i want my organs donated to someone and not just to "science". My ex husband needed a kidney and still does but due to his ethnicity he couldnt take mine. I have that on my licence as well Gypsy, but always thought organs automatically would go to a person...I better check on that then..I want mine to go to a person who needs it to live.. |

|
|
im a doner after i die... too but hey if i could make a difference in someones life like that?
|
|
|
|
your best bet is a family member and in the same "ethnicity" believe it or not, it does matter.....but some people.....strangers can be a match.
|
|
|
|
so gypsy im the wrong race then?
|
|
|
|
yes blonde, you must make it very clear that you want your organs for an actual person and not just for science if that is what you want.
|
|
|
|
well you could very well be the wrong race.....I was the wrong race for my ex husband...
