Kidney Transplant Patient Perspective

This is a video showing what it is like to have a kidney transplant from the recipient perspective. I have a kidney disease which slowly decreased their effectiveness until they stopped filtering my blood completely. I was on dialysis for 15 months and created videos (during my last session before the transplant) so look for them under my username. I had a kidney transplant from Sara, an unrelated donor who didn't know me before she decided to donate. We had the operation on August 19th, 2008. Both of us are recovering well. Look for my video on her experience. Thank you Sara. You've changed my life physically because I am no longer sick and you've also shown me that there are truly wonderful people out there who just want to help others and ask for nothing in return. I am forever in your debt. UPDATE I've posted another video of my recovery from transplant one year later. Please check it out. http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKVqV398xh8 Damon Danieli
