@janet1983ohio Janet, I was a Kidney Donor... I gave a kidney to my best friend. He was on dailysis for 3 years before agreeing to let me be tested. Don't give up hope & know that a world of people are praying for you to get your needed surgeries.

Fire house how long were you out of work. I'm thinking of donating.

[FirehouseMike]

@ANewHopeIll God Bless You for thinking about donating your kidney. I own a small business teaching firefighter & spend most of my time training in classroom settings. I took 2 weeks off from that job and had to take 90 days off from the fire department. Depending on what you do for a living your doctor will recomend how long you should be off. I really didn't have any trouble getting back in the swing of things & don't regret donating a kidney.

Best Wishes & Good Luck to You
