    My dad had a kidney transplant in 1983 after being on dialysis for about four years. It was a life changing event for him and all for the better. He did extremely well with his and a lot of people became organ donors because of his experience.

    I hope you do well, also! Good luck and do what the doctors tell you!

    That's one of the better excuses for not ryding!

    for the success of your surgery today and I hope you'll have a short recovery.

    And bless the person who donated the kidney so you can benefit from a miracle of medicine.
