I donated a kidney on behalf of my wife on November 13, 2012 at UCH in Denver. I was 48 at the time. She had a high PRA (99%) so I couldn’t donate to her directly but through a paired exchange we were able to find a donor who could donate to her. I donated to that donor’s partner because he couldn’t donate to her because of mismatched blood types. I’m feeling fine now and we are all doing well (both pairs) so it really was a win-win-win-win scenario!
I hike at least 4 miles every weekend! I’m so happy that this surgery is even possible and I’m proud to have helped someone else as well as having my wife back to full health.
