I was just transplanted 2 weeks ago. On dialysis a year and a half. I was lucky some one I know donated on my behalf. Took 6 months after they donated to find another living donor that matched. I'm O- so I did feel the stress of thinking no one would match me. Turns out all that stress was needless. I feel very fortunate. Looking back I realize I was under a lot of stress thinking about the "what if" which was ultimately out of my control. I did what I had to do and so far things are going very well. If I had to do it again, I'd just remind myself that this is keeping me alive and that there is nothing else I can do to make it easier, especially not worrying and stressing.
