ISO: Single dark red healthy kidney for lifelong commitment

About me: I enjoy long walks on the beach, sunsets over the mountains, playing in the rain.  Looking for kidney to help me continue these activities for several more years without exhaustion, dialysis, or ridiculous dietary restrictions (looking at you potassium).

About you: Wonderful, amazing person willing to share your second kidney with a slightly less wonderful amazing person.  Screening, matching, and surgery done through my transplant program, you just need to call and start the process.

"Count your many blessings, name them one by one..."

End stage kidney disease is a long waiting game, one I've played for a while now and have always known that the time would come for me to need a new kidney or dialysis.  Well, I'm a little closer.  We just went through a big move and change in our lives so obviously it is also time for a drop in kidney function.  I have dropped from a steady 17% to about 13%.  My doctor thinks that I will be able to wait until I'm closer to 5% before needing to start dialysis because overall I'm not very symptomatic and my other levels are pretty stable, which means I am really good at this game and am winning. Today I received a call from Vilda, the wonderful transplant coordinator at Walter Reed, with the recommendation that I return to actively asking and looking for a donor, in the event that the amazing potential donor I wrote about here  is unable to donate.  This will prevent me from having all of my kidneys (eggs) in one basket and  hopefully decrease the wait time for a tra
