Well, the day’s getting closer. I’m writing this on Saturday night and surgery will be first thing on Thursday morning. Or at least I have to be at the hospital first thing (7am), when they’ll actually take me into surgery I’m not sure. I’ve been told but, like a lot […]

Well, the balloon has gone up, the bomb has dropped, the cat’s out of the bag and other such nonsense. I have a match and I have a date, my kidney has a new home to go to. After all the waiting these final steps have come around dizzyingly fast. […]
Writing this just after my last post so might be best to check that out first… After my psych interview the next (and last) big step on my adventure in kidney donation was the HTA interview. The HTA is the Human Tissue Authority and, when you’re going in as a […]
