Got a Spare Kidney Anybody ?

Santa, Can You Bring Me a Kidney for Christmas Please..

I’m not talking crazy nor am I talking figuratively. I’m asking for a Kidney this christmas for My Hubby.

There are Several Very Good Videos with this post click to see them

  

I don’t talk about the hubby much, because he is so private. there is alot going on at my home right now in many ways. deaths, problems, issues with health and of course living with hubbys’ renal failure. His doctors have given him a no-go on a transplant. this is in essence a death sentence. a very slow and painful death sentence.

this is not a choice you get to make, when you need an organ; it’s a choice made for you by doctors, nurses and a committee.

yes a committee decides if you are worthy of receiving even a cadaver kidney..

this is ludicrous to me, because if I am willing to donate a kidney to be a part of a transplant chain, surely they can put it together. but alas that’s not how it works; if you are not a millionaire.
 

that’s why that mass transplant was such a christmas miracle for each of the donors and recipients. I pray for them all and ask you to think about your loved ones this year. you never know what could be just around the corner for you, health wise.

Firstly, let me chat a little of how I feel towards certain donations:

1.  Some donations do not guarantee that patients get a suitable match for organs or bone marrow transplants.  [ Donors' T-cells may recognize the recipient as foreign, and start an immune attack on the recipient’s normal tissues and organs.  This disease is known as graft-vs-host disease (GVHD).    CGVHD is also a transplant-related disease with no symptoms in the first few months after transplant.   More info:  Dangers of bone marrow transplant may not be due to "viruses already present in patients' bodies"  ]

2.  Some donations (majority of it) goes into helping already-rich pharmaceutical companies to produce more prescription medicines with side-effects.
