With this blog, I plan to chronicle my kidney donation, from when I first decided to do it, to the testing routine, through surgery, and finally the recovery process. I hope that through my first-hand experience, I can convince more people to be live kidney donors.

I'm working on it...
I'm preparing my post regarding yesterday's meeting, I'm just waiting for something. In the meantime, take a minute to read this nugget in the NY Daily News.
I am neither 32, as noted in the story, nor 35, as posted on this blog. I'm a healthy 36 years old. When I started the blog I was 35, and I am just too lazy to change it now...
Thanks for the link to the News - they did an excellent job of detailing the complex surgery that YOU started! Congratulations on the fulfillment of YOUR dream.
The rest of this is about "Pass It Forward" - please review and contact me - please.
I've exchanged emails with Daniel...a miracle happened after he raised my consciousness and the amazing plight of a 29 year old "heroine" has landed on my desk.
I've glanced at the Kidney Registry web site - great hope there - but PUB is needed. You can continue to help save lives by LEVERAGE - and I might be able to individually help not only the needy friend to whom I volunteered my kidney because of you...but also "Jenny" - whose story you won't believe.
Because Fox and Friends recently helped out in a different medical situation, I'm targeting their legal/anchor Megyn Kelly for Jenny ...and I'm tipping her to you and your story.
Please email me so we can exchange or speak: rickmcgonnigal@adamscameron.comm
Thanks for the inspiration - and for your continued action.
Googled today to see if the story was picked up, and (truly) almost cried when I saw that pic, Anthony-who said the Hokey Pokey was what it's all about?!? No way--it's this stuff. Kudos--really. It makes me happy just to say that I know you!
My name is Anthony DeGiulio. I'm 37 and live in upstate New York with my weimaraner, Frankie. One of my dreams is to save someone's life. Since I don't think I will ever pull anyone from a burning building or perform CPR on a stranger, I figured donating a kidney might be the closest I would come. This is the story of my experience.

Sorry - don't know how that happened. Can you edit out this duplicate comment?

So are you 32 or 35? Does donating a kidney made you younger?
Thanks for showing that one person can make a difference. God bless you!

Yeah Ev, a lot of people have reached out to me about that picture. That shot is precisely why I did this...
