I am looking for any real world feedback on donating organs? 

It's an odd story (mine seem to always be!) and I don't want bore ya'all with the details. 

Basically I started working in a new job and on my team is a pretty cool young lady. I found out she goes to dialysis 4 times a week. She is on a nocturnal schedule so she can work during the day. She has been in complete kidney failure for almost 6 years. 

Not married. No children. She makes everyone she comes in contact with a better person. 

For some reason when met her I felt a strong pull to her. 

After getting to know each other I asked her if she was on a transplant list. She said she was but so far nothing was happening. 

I asked her if she would accept one of mine if we matched. She said she usually tells everyone that asks that she isn't a candidate for transplant. It's not true. She said she couldn't live a good life if she got a living donor and then something happened to the doner she wouldn't be able to live a great life knowing the donor suffered because of her! 

OK so...I need to get tested/matched first, right? Do I just call her nephrologist to see a match test could be done? Will he/she need the recipient to start the process? 

Anyone know? Anyone been an organ donor? 

Feedback please! 

 
I hope someone has some knowledge on this subject for you. There must be an organ donor forum that you could join, or just the specific steps that need to be taken on some websites.  I'm sure we could help in finding them.

What a generous and selfless thing to want to do. She sounds like the same kind of person, no wonder that you were drawn to her.

 
Oh 2E you are much too kind! I have always been driven to try and make a difference--I feel like there isn't much I can give back to the world--I am not a healer, a mender, a scientist, a philanthropist, a teacher etc. I try to buy favor with my universe any time I can! 

I have been a 3 time surrogate, a bone marrow donor and of course a blood donor. I only say this so you know I have some experience with "donating". It has become a joke that I share with Sara--I say " Shoot, I gave three couples a baby! I can give you a kidney!"'

That's great advice about looking at other forums. 

Its really stupid that I detest going to the doctor for myself--I go once a year whether I need to or not! However if its for a greater good then I can go without any thought. Probably a huge psychological statement in that behavior! But shit, I am too old to change! 

Again I appreciate any feedback or experience!

  9. C @ ClintEastwood: Well I got burned on my first buy. It stral sucks the guy has sole things in stock. But definitely what I ordered and I thought he was honest because I asked for something very close to it and i said what about that one. Yeah I got it. And the comms were wired and he was really wanting me to make his forum board look better. Now I know the first thing to look at even before the menu. But I have some business with usps tomorrow and will ask for everything mailed to me especially packages
  10. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: Policies have changed and i would behoove everyone to due their due diligence and go have a look. The guidelines from 5-10 years ago dont apply. And rules, regulations and laws may not either, i mean do you see anyone giving 2 sh1tz about the C0n$tituti@n recently?
  11. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @rasetreydir, yeah those are good af too
  12. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @Ross7223, they should boycott pre-paid p0stage
  13. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @Gulp2788, no they do not as of sept 25, u cant assume everything is the same, or anything for that matter. Its a brave new A-1 world folks.
  14. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: My milage has differed to yours though, I've found them incredibly reliable with their tracking and 3 day delivery is pretty accurate.
  15. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I agree but U5PS has to go through a legal process to search packages. Private companies can open your mail at their discretion.
  16. Ross7223 @ Ross7223: @Gulp2788 because they always lose pckgs, track1ng is never right, never is 3 day deliv3ry like they say
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @Ross7223 From my understanding that's actually counter-productive, but maybe you know something I don't. Why do you say that?
  18. Ross7223 @ Ross7223: Vendor$ should boycott U5P5, they are terrible!
  19. Thoth @ Thoth: Happy Weekend! Let’s Get It!!!
  20. cannedgoods @ cannedgoods: Happy Weekend everybody! cheers!
