I had a DALK this past May 24 in Miami and I couldnt stop thinking un that person that was going to die.
I’ll ve forever grateful to that guy and to live in general. I’m from Ecuador (south América) and I had the oportunity to fly to Florida and havd a DALK. Here in my country my doctor said that a would need a PK, that was the only option.

I’m getting better with every day, but i still have that milky vision. I hope your recovery is going well

Personal savings + Insurance. I am very fortunate.

Thank you for the kind words. Watch for this site to receive many posts this week, as I’m heading in Wednesday.

Your introspective thoughts are very simular to my own, especially before each transplant attempt. I hope that many people are educated by your informative post of your thoughts on organ and tissue donation.
I was wondering how you are able to finance your current DALK proceedure (health insurance, personal savings, credit, loans?) Even organ and tissue donation is not without significant financial cost.
