Your transplant story
Had PKD and at age 28 kidney finally failed, quickly and without much warning....on dialysis for 6 months and received cadaver kidney atHahnemann Hospital here in Phila. Had a terrible time of it, rejections every night and doc told me outlook was for failure and dialysis once again....'Get ready for that' he said.  That was in 1979....and that kidney is doing quite well.......go figure ! Just so thankful for this '2nd chance'. Been working for most of that time, coming up on 18 years at the Post Office, still not 'disgruntled' nor could never be after going through that !!!
