Nondirected donation tomorrow!
« on: June 26, 2013, 07:52:27 PM »
Just took the lovely magnesium citrate in preparation for my 10 am kidney donation surgery tomorrow. It's non-directed. All I know is that it's a guy and he got pneumonia a couple weeks ago,, which postponed the transplant, but now he's better! My donation will kick off two other paired exchange transplants as well for a total of three transplants. :)

Shooppies, All the best for you, your recipient, the other four -- and everyone's family, too.  Here's hoping you & all have an uneventful and short recovery.   Bill
