Amazing shared gift
Posted by Kathleen Taylor on May 25, 2012 at 4:48pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I just ran across an article online written by a Tx recipient, and I realized we share the same donor. While we are not supposed to know the name of our donor, a friend shared a Donor Memorial book with me, with a picture of a donor that matched the date and location of my donor. I found out his name was Xavier, which actually translates to "Savior", and he truly was! I have been blessed with a second chance and I am still doing well after 8 years. Finding someone else who shares a part…

Ok, So my "Kidneyverssary" was this past January. I am 5 years out and I have been on Prograf and have to be on valcyte for life. I used to have thick spiral curls. Now I have very fine thinning curls. I am doing the Rogaine for women again ( I was on it and stopped thinking it did not make a big difference) wrong! My hair fell out even more, in big clumps and it is still going. I want to get my hair back. I was first put on Rapamune, but I got sores in my mouth within 2 months of transplant.…Continue

I rec'd an invitation via email which most likely was sent to all members about the press conference titled, “Rally To Support Organ Donation & Passage of Lauren's Law” in New York Thursday May 17 at 12 noon regarding organ donation.I went to the Comment Wall here where it is advertised but was unable to do so. I also attempted sending a message to Janet Handal whose name is listed as the organizer but that was also unsuccessful. My opinion(s) is of such...I am 110% for organ donation. It's…Continue

Hi folks, I had my tx 9 weeks ago and everythings going really very well. My creatinine is down to 97, not sure the equivalent measurement in the US/Canada. I'm feeling very well, loads of energy, truly delighted to be feeling so well. My main problem has been the discipline of remembering to take the drugs at the appropriate times. I was late twice so far and thanks to advise from people on this site, took them shortly afterwards and no problem, but.. last night I went to bed earlier than…Continue
