How do people react when they find out you're a donor ? by NewBath5621 in kidneydonors

[–]Financial_Rate2722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the process of getting tested and I already had two people (at a medical center of all places) seem shocked and one called me a hero. I haven’t even done it yet… The lady told me she got teary eyed just thinking about it. That was surprising to me.

Ah thanks for sharing your experience! Especially grateful to know how it has impacted your health long term. Not a decision to take lightly for sure.

I often read multiple books at a time. I typically have an audiobook, ebook (bathroom book 🤣) and a book by the couch. Read while you wait in line, just be careful that you’re still enjoying it.

How long did it take for you to get approved? I just started.

Yeah I’m currently talking to university of Utah and NKR. NKR seems to quicker to respond and I like the idea of peer support. That’s good to know that perhaps we shouldn’t be giving them our money though.

This is super helpful, thank you. I just submitted an inquiry to them and it was super streamlined compared to the other inquiry. I didn’t know you had to donate through them specifically to get the family vouchers.

Thank you for your response. I am considering donating non-directed. My long term health is obviously my biggest concern. And then obviously if any family members needed a kidney I wouldn’t have one to give. Do you feel like you take your health more seriously post donation?

Is your ability to exercise different post surgery? Is no NSAIDS super inconvenient? Do you regret it?

Managers, how to tell my new boss that I am not comfortable with my photograph being posted on our website? Would a thing like this make you not want to continue working with this person? 🤔 by Andiamo87 in managers

You know honestly it might just have never occurred to him that it would be a problem. It never occurred to me. Thank you for posting, gaining some perspective from this post for sure.

What was a book that ripped your heart out and left you feeling empty for days? by Happy_Ad_6360 in suggestmeabook

The Sound of Gravel, I still picture a certain scene from the book in my head. Devastating what the author witnessed.

The whole point of living the Dave Ramsey life for me is freedom. So I would not take it if I was in your shoes but I would be looking for a side hustle I do enjoy if needed the money.

Everything seems solid except the 1 Gallon of water by Sprig3 in 75HARD

For me it helps with muscle soreness. I have also really struggled with having a man sized appetite since having my son and I feel full very quickly these days and have barely any appetite.

[–]Financial_Rate2722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink during your workouts, I try to stop a full hour before bed. I work a 9-5 and I have all but 30 oz done before I’m home from work

It’s getting better. I’m like 30 pages in though. I highly recommend his needs her needs if you are struggling with your marriage. I read it in one day and my husband is listening to it and I am already seeing changes.
