- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I am soon to be 37 years YOUNG and am the wife of almost 17 years to Paul and the mom to 2 awesome teens, Zachary 14 and Kylie 12. My family keeps me in check when needed and next to my savior Jesus, they are my lifelines!
3 weeks before I was married I found out I had kidney failure. Not sure from what but when the doc told me I wouldn't see my 21st b-day I got defiant and said I don't think so. My dad gave me his kidney 8-25-92 and with that kidney I was still sick but healthy enough to have both my kids. In Aug 1998 I got the flu that wouldn't go away and lo and behold it wasn't the flu but my kidney rejecting. The tough thing about that rejection was my father had passed away a few years before and that kidney was the only living thing I had left of him. Well, my hubby insisted I take his kidney (how could I refuse!) and he ended up being a better match than my dad! God always knows! On March 9, 1999 I got a huge kidney from my hubby Paul that has worked perfect ever since! I am truly truly blessed! I'm still demanding as ever but loved as much as can be!
