Default OVERULD Is Getting A New Kidney

I have a hereditary condition called Chronic Renal Insufficiency that has finally developed into End Stage Renal Disease. My kidney function is at 15% and the next step would be dialysis. But, praise be to God, my sweet sister has agreed to give me one of her kidneys and this coming Friday, the 11th, I will receive a kidney transplant!

Long day of surgery coming, about 4-6 weeks of recovery, and a lifetime taking very expensive immunosuppressant drugs, but sure beats dialysis for 4-6 hours a day for three days a week while trying to run a business.

I would appreciate your prayers and encourage all of you to sign your donor card. Lots of people needing kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, corneas, pancreas and other parts none of us will need when we are gone.

Thanks,
BJ
