God has led me down the path to donate a kidney to my father.

Feeling good

Well we've passed the 6 month mark! I went and had some bloodwork done to see how everything is going, and was told I would be contacted if there were any concerns. I haven't heard anything so I'm hoping that's a good sign :) Things are going well, I feel good and dad feels good. We are enjoying the summer trying to remember to keep drinking LOTS of water, especially in this heat! I started a Support Kidney Donation cause post on my facebook and already have 182 members! Most of them have had a personal experience with kidney donation, and have either donated or gotten a kidney. It's amazing to realize just how many people kidney disease affects. It's incredible to read the stories and learn of other people's experiences. And even more incredible to see how many people come together to support one cause. The purpose of the post is to spread the word about organ donation, open eyes and hearts to the possibilites of donating and hopefully make people think about it. I love that we are doing our little part to get the word out there and I hope lots of people hear it. I do what I can to try to educate people about it, and even have a shirt that was kindly given to me by one of the livingdonorsonline members. It's great, it lists the top 10 reasons to become a donor, and I wear it with pride!! I hope everyone is doing great, wether it's summer where you are, or you are somewhere that's always sunny, I hope you all are happy and well and enjoying life.
