Comments on: Dr Susan Hou – sums it up perfectly! http://livingkidneydonation.co.uk/dr-susan-hou-sums-it-up-in-one-sentence.htm Evaluation process to become a Living Kidney Donor Wed, 08 Sep 2010 05:16:05 +0100 hourly 1 By: ~DF~ http://livingkidneydonation.co.uk/dr-susan-hou-sums-it-up-in-one-sentence.htm/comment-page-1#comment-485 ~DF~ Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:50:08 +0000 http://livingkidneydonation.co.uk/dr-susan-hou-sums-it-up-in-one-sentence.htm/#comment-485 Hi Nancy, Thanks for finding this blog and posting. So glad your donation went well and you have a clean bill of health. We have a forum for living donors here (link on main nav bar) where we offer support and advice and just generally know there will always be someone there with a positive attitude and able to offer help and support to other Living donors. It makes a tremendous difference in someones life yet takes very little time or effort out of ours to do that. Along the way I have met so many wonderful people. The doctors, nurses, technicians - everyone who works at the hospital, all pull together as a team, it is so amazing. I have met people on dialysis and post transplant; people wanting to donate, are donating, have donated. To have been a small cog in such a huge wheel I feel so truly honoured that I was able to contribute. I wish I could do more. Thanks Hi Nancy,

There are so many big things in this world that we are helpless to fix, but being a living kidney donor does one very small, very powerful thing. It gets one person off dialysis. It eases the misery and lengthens the life of one person. On June 25, it will be one year since I donated a kidney to a stranger. There was no pain, just a little stiffness, and I have a clean bill of health. I hope more people will consider living donation. If anyone is considering living donation and has questions, I'm happy to answer them. Thanks! Nancy Dr. Hou is so right.
