"cont....... It was always made perfectly clear to me during the acceptance process that the transplant would be anonymous and I had to be comfortable with that otherwise we would not have proceeded. It's just the way things are done and I…"

"Cont...... At the end of the day, the only person's opinion that really counted on the matter was my own. I have been told that I'm a very brave person to have done this thing, but for me, it was the most natural thing in the world to do.…"

"Hello Art, Sorry it's took me a while to get back to you. In answer to your first question, it would be easier for me to tell you a bit about me. I'm rather shy, I can be quite gregarious, but I do tend to keep things close to my chest.…"

"Thanks Jools, I do have a few questions for you. I've done quite a bit of research and I am pretty comfortable with physical aspects of the surgery. I am more curious about the mental part of it. I am a very happy person now and do not have…"

"Hello Art, Congratulations on being accepted as a donor. That is probably the biggest hurdle to overcome. I'd be more than happy to share my experience with you. Suffice to say, if it were at all physically possible, I wouldn't hesitate to…"

"Thank you Rise'. You know, apart from the few extra wrinkles and the obvious effects that gravity has on the body, I actually quite like getting older. It's another year under my belt. More experiences to learn and grow from. And I do like…"

Are you a member of http://TransplantBuddies.com ?: Yes, I am.

How has transplantation changed your life? If Yes, please share.: Being a donor has had a much bigger effect on my life than I thought it would. And all positive. Mostly it gave me the courage to make some big changes to my life. Life is so very precious and I've discovered it's for living and not for passing me by.

She is a great dog though and is very loyal. It's funny I was thinking about getting a tattoo after my surgery as well. I am not planning on getting one as big as you did but I thought something around the surgery sight might be appropriate. They are going to take my right kidney as well using the mini open technique. We are shooting for a surgery date of March 29th if they get both recipients and the other donor worked up in the next couple of weeks. I've gotta go, having dinner with my girlfriend. See ya, Art

If you have how was that meeting and do you continue to talk to them. If not, why not? I go back and forth on this issue and really can't decide what is best for me. I'm leaning towards wanting to meet the person. Thanks for listening, I'll have more questions later.

See ya, Art

I am more curious about the mental part of it. I am a very happy person now and do not have many lows or highs. I guess you could say that I am pretty even keeled. I have been at this for sixteen months now and it's been an interesting journey. For a period of time I found myself telling people my intentions to donate with the hope of receiving their praise and admiration. I had made this about me and that's not why I started this. My question is after the donation how did you and how do you handle all the praise without letting it all go to your head.

to transplant friends:) I remember you from our buddies site. You are from the UK right? You are a member of our Living donor Heroes forum.

Tell me if I am wrong or right. I like to try and improve my memory this way. You were written up in a newspaper? Not sure but just curious.
