Giant Step

Today I met with the transplant coordinator, the nephrologist and a social worker. They each asked me if I really wanted to donate my kidney to my husband. I told each of them that I absolutely wanted to do it. It is going to be scary but I got a lot of good information from each person. I need to get several people involved to help coordinate our post op care. That is what's the scariest; depending on others to care for us. There will be about 2 or 3 weeks where we will depend on others to look after us.
I also need to lose more weight. That's tough. I will also need to keep it off so I don't develop diabetes later in life which could lead to kidney failure.
This is the first big step toward my goal of getting my husband to feel better and get back to his old self.
