Well it looks like I am in it for the long run!! My donor has FAILED! She is putting out to much protine, which is a sign of weak kidneys. She said that they said might be because she smokes?? Nurses at my place said they never heard that before, I will ask my doc when he makes rounds on Wed.??
She said she is stoping smoking today, and going back in 3 weeks for another test? Never heard of a smoker that just quits over night?
O well I have 1 to 3 years on the list to wait, we will get there!

Thats a bummer Joe but hang in there buddy!

always somethin to screw things up ....keep the faith Joe

Chin up Joe, we are all rooting for you. This will all work out.

I know people just shut smoking off like a switch, but not all. She has gone a long way to get this far, and she was crying when she told me!!! But she statedf she was quiting and going back in about a month to be retested?? We will see?? I thankef her for all she has done and said I hope this did not uncover anything wrong with her!!! Hope she will be fine!
We will just wait and see what happens from here?
Keep the prayers coming!!

Joe I wish you well in the wait of a donor,and your luck will turn for the better Buddy.
Good things come to good people and your ticket will come up as a winner soon enough.

Untreated high blood presure can cause that even if she is being treated currently the damage could have happened in the past causing too much protein to pass through kidneys now.

Have U talked to your doctors maybe getting on the list for the Cleveland Clinic or in Pittsburgh?....the only thing we have to the east of us is the ocean, limited area to draw from where as in the middle of the country the clinic is a nucleus drawing from 360 degrees....if U were chosen to get on their list U could use Angel Flight that is free(check out)....Cleveland Clinic accepts people within 600 air miles

Hopefully things will work out soon Joe, we are pulling for you. Maybe when one door closes ,another will open.

Sorry to hear Joe . Hoping the best for you

Sorry to hear buddy, stay strong!!!!

Thanks guys!! But I am ok with it, it will work out one way or another. Might take 3 more years, but I will get one at some point!!

Sorry to hear Joe, I'm praying for you
