If I could, I would. Maybe not without knowing what I know now, four years into dialysis.
Donating a kidney shouldn’t be any more eventful than a few days in the hospital and a couple weeks of R&R. No new meds, no changes in lifestyle.
For the person receiving it, it not only is a literal life saver, it gives them back their life. Being tethered to a machine is no way to live. I know.

I thought about you when I heard it. I wish I could've hooked you two up.
I wonder with this guy if he would have liked to give it to a particular person or not. It appears that he wasn't motivated by helping a particular individual, even though that's the obvious outcome.
I wondered too about the payment. He's going to have significant medical bills, so I'm presuming that some organization or some person paid them for him. Was it the recipient? Some nonprofit? And my impression is that he didn't sell the kidney, though I guess I don't know that.
