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!!! 
Stephanie

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

love, elephant

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... 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.

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.
