Sounds funny, but this is a serious question. If you (or someone you know) has O blood (pos or neg is fine), is in good health, and would be willing to help extend the life of someone near and dear to yours truly, please PM me.

I am on a mission!

Good god, I hope you'll find one. Dont they have national registries from organ donors for this sort of thing? Are you having trouble finding a suitable donor?

iMav · « **Reply #2 on:** Sat, 08 November 2008, 19:25:42 »

On the list for a cadaver donation. There's not really much of a live donation list. People pretty much only give up kidneys to people they know.

Good luck, sorry to hear this.
Unfortunately Im AB- and have under active kidneys

No bugger will want them.
Give me another 30 years I will be asking for new ones.

Yikes. I wish you the luck I wish myself. (I'm A- myself, so I can't even entertain the thought.)

God, I have never know my blood type. In any case, with the amount of drugs and drink I put my kidneys through, I don't think anyone would want them.

FYI, this is for my mother. My mother-in-law is donating one of her kidneys to my mom. They both go under the knife tomorrow (Wednesday, 17 Jun).

I'm headed out in about an hour (they are 8 hours away).

I'm glad she found a donor. I hope she get well soon.

Transplant was postponed two days. Surgery is occuring right now. (mother-in-law is out of surgery and my mother is receiving the kidney now)

Great news, congrats! You got me worried for a moment with all the inactivity.

Seriously
how dare you scare us like that

iMav · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 30 June 2009, 07:35:35 »

Back at home. Wife and kids are still in ND looking after the moms...should be home by the end of the week.

So far, it appears the transplant is a smashing success.
