Kidneys - I got an extra.
No..., I'm not selling it.
But I am planning right now to give one away.
I'd be giving it to someone I do not know, nor have I ever met.
Though it would be a direct donation to a specific individual.
A younger woman in fact.
One that has a young child and a full and healthy lifestyle and family.
All of her immediate family were tested with no matches found.
I don't even know how that happens...?
But if I can help, and if I'm a match, I'm going to try and do it.
Regardless.
I've spent my time these past 3 days trying to research everything I can about it all.
Benefits to her. Drawbacks on me. Procedures, prep, plans, recovery.
I remain Undaunted.
BUT...,
I keep coming back to the psych evaluation as the major stumbling block to it all if I'm a match and I'm considered healthy enough to go through with it.
I'm not a psycho, though I am a bit of the angry type of person.
Mostly angry at the world and myself for various different things.
Yet, despite not caring if I die, I'm not completely suicidal as of yet.
Lord knows I'm a psychological mess upstairs. But is that the deciding factor when a GOOD life is in the balance? My Mental State?
It can't be..., can it?
Everything I read mentions it, and everything I read seems to suggest that my psychological state would be the beginning or end to a possible life saving procedure for a young lady who only wants to raise her family with a solid husband who's been by her side for everything she's already been through.
I got involved through a goddamned FB post of all things. Posted by the daughter of one of my best friends of all time. The recipient would be the younger sister of her very best friend. None of which actually matters because the details aren't what this post is about.
This post is a question to anyone familiar with the process on what needs to be said or not said during a psychological evaluation in this sort of thing?
I'd welcome firsthand accounts, secondhand stories, or even random advice as replies to this post.
If you want to post platitudes, jokes, or anything unrelated to the question just so you can post something..., I'm begging you to scroll on and, Please Don't !
I really am looking for serious advice and counsel here.
(as crazy at that might seem given the nature of this place)
