Congrats. Please share how did you manage your kidney for so long. Who was the donor? A perfect match?

Thank you, manage by taking my meds correctly, keeping track of all my blood work(even pre- computer time lol) Asking questions, also the donor was a good match. I know she was a 23yr old who died. All I could do back then was write a letter to the family, no names Lifelink handle the delivery. My diet has changed over the yrs. Make sure to keep blood pressure low..
