Welcome to Discussions

Hello everyone out there. I'm 23 years old and in 2003 I had 2 storke. I had to have open-heart surgery. I was in a coma for 2 1/2 months, but it all started because I have kidney deasease. I had since I was born I'm trying to look for someone to give me one. If anybody does what to you can go on wnykidneyconnections.org thank you for reading.

waitn4kidney23, welcome to Disaboom. Nice place to be with a wealth of info and great folks. If you don't mind, I'll add your need for a kidney to my prayers. I hope you enjoy the Disaboom community. Perhaps you would be a good person to work with the staff here in coming up with a link to the various donar organizations. I don't believe that exists and the site is always expanding. My best to you! Dave

Hello Waitn4kidney,

 

Are you on the national registry for a kidney transplant?  If so where are you on the list? I wish you the best of luck and good health to come.

Hello waitn4,

welcome to Disaboom

Seems a bit presumptuous to ask a organ from people you don't know. Call me a killjoy or whatever - I just think asking for something anything from someone you don't know kind of rude or maybe inappropriate. Akin to asking for spare change anywhere, sidewalk, bus stop, front of grocery store or bite of something tasty off your dinner plate, on a stick or in your hand. Maybe its etiquette but its just plain inappropriate at a stroke group section. Sorry about your situation though reallly ...

I can't agree. I don't think it's inappropriate. Anyone who signs the back of his/her driver's license to indicate willingness to donate organs is, in effect, agreeing to donate organs to a total stranger.
Sometimes a stranger is the one who's the best match.
I'm a stroke survivor myself, and I can't even imagine what it would be like to be waiting for an organ transplant, too.
It's always appropriate to show compassion.

I am also a stroke survivor (5) and I wish I could help you but I wish you good luck in your search.
