I don't talk about this online a lot but for almost the last 6 years my kidneys haven't worked.
Well with all the dialysis and medication all those years, now my liver is starting to fail. So for the last few months I have been getting evaluated at the Mayo Clinic for a dual liver-kidney transplant.
I just found out that I will be listed any day now. Could be as soon as tomorrow. They said it might take a year or two after being listed but this is really good news. I feel like I won the lottery.

Wow that sounds absolutely frightening, but I'm glad there seems a way out.

They sure are. You should watch the movie 2 Hearts on Netflix. Wonderful story of being unselfish and caring.
Thanks for the kind words, everybody.
