My daughter is looking down the pipe of being put on the transplant list due to IgA Nephropathy. Anyone here have experience with a kidney transplant? What has life been like for the recipient? We hope to do the live donor route from a family member (me included). Right now we are working the type/match on her end first. It looks like about a 60 day wait for the first visit to the MUSC in Charleston SC.

Whatever....

I'm interested, too. I have a friend who is on the waiting list.

I have three Throwing Cats. They are trained to panic and extend all pointy extensions when they are thrown. Who needs a dog?
