How I Found Out

17 December 2009: e-mail from Kate that she had an appointment for testing at Presbyterian hospital in NYC for Kidney and Pancreas transplant testing.

21 December 2009: e-mail from Kate that she had gone through testing at and was now on the Transplant waiting list.

22 December 2009: e-mail from Kate that her kidney function numbers were declining close to the point where she would be in kidney failure and that her doctor recommended that she obtain a living donor. She also sent links to information about the procedure and survival rates of donors!

22 December 2009: Decided to stop reading my e-mail!

22 December 2009: After 10 minutes of serious consideration and consultation with Barbara, sent Kate a note and said that I would become a donor.
