- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I work as a medical biller/coder for Maine Medical Center Family Medicine in Portland, ME. Am the proud parent of one son, Stephen. I am coming up on my 10th anniversay of my kidney transplant. It has not been without ups and downs, but thanks to all the excellent doctors, nurses and my supportive family and friends I have met this challenge. I have also made many new friends on this journey. As to my donor/donor family there are no words to express my gratitude for such a gift. Even though I do not know my donor family there is not a single day that goes by I do not think of the suffering in their loss and the courage it took to pass on the gift of life.
