Your cause, Support Organ and Tissue Donation, has reached 7,500 members! I got this notification in my facebook tonight and how very appropriate!

I had just left our PD(Peritoneal Dialysis) office and had to wait at a usually long traffic light. I looked over to my right and next to me at the light was a former primary HD patient of mine. Since I had seen this fellow I had heard that he had received a Kidney Transplant via the list. I hit my horn quick we rolled down windows and we had a short exchange. I said Congratulations on the transplant.
As a Dialysis Nurse it is such a thrill and so satisfying to have a connection with a patients that are transplant recipients. It is the ultimate Option and it is the way it should be for all ESRD Patients. In our PD office in the past 6 months there have been 5 Patients transplanted. Again it is so so Awesome!!!
