It's finally official.  I will be donating my kidney to my Dad.  We go next week for our final testing.  We've been delayed so many times, it seems surreal at this point.  But, I'm totally ready and Dad is counting down his last dialysis treatments.  Can't wait to be on the other side of this adventure.

I can't tell you how much I have appreciated this board.  I met so many wonderful people who have answered all my questions honestly. 

Thank you!!! 

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for you and your Dad.  :)

Prayers for you both!  I donated to my father a year ago.  Sometimes I call him "Kidney" now instead of "Daddy"...

It's been a long journey for you.  Best of luck and speedy recovery to you both!!

Thank you, everyone. 

Yes, it has been a long and interesting journey.  I'm a little scared, but I can't wait to see how it all turns out. 

Best wishes to you both. I hope all goes ahead as planned and you'll soon be telling us about your recovery.

Congratulations! That is the same date that I am scheduled to donate a Kidney to my friend  :)

Congratulations! I know how stressful the testing process can be. It is an incredible thing that you are doing for your dad. Best of luck to both of you :)

Best wishes... Surreal is exactly how I would have described the days just before surgery. All the preparation and waiting, it's hard to believe it when the actual event arrives. Keep in touch.

Thank you all!  See you on the flip side!!   :)

Your going to do great!!  The wait is the worst part. ;)

Best of luck to you and your Dad! Skillet is right, the waiting is the worst part.

I will keep up both in my prayers.

Linda

Best of Luck and Prayers your way for you and your dad.  Keep us updated.  God Bless!
