All I can say is WOW!

All I can say is WOW! I am completely overwhelmed with the response I've received since sharing my story. I must admit that I was hesitant to even share my post because I didn't want people to think I was doing it just to get attention or a pat on the back. Looking back at all that has happened over the few days since I went public with my decision, I am so thankful that I shared. My page received almost 500 views in 24 hours, and it's been viewed by people in 6 different countries. That is so crazy!! I never would have imagined that. I am so thankful to know that there are so many people out there supporting me. It's been great to see the responses and hear stories from people who I have never met, as well as from people I do know, but had no idea that kidney disease has impacted their life. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my story.


I'm anxiously awaiting tomorrow afternoon, when I can speak to the donor coordinator at the Mayo Clinic to get some questions answered and hopefully get some of my testing scheduled. To anyone reading this who is a living donor, are there any questions you asked that you feel are important, or things you wish you would have asked right away? I have a list of questions, but I'm sure there are many things and situations that I haven't thought of yet. Please feel free to share in the comments, or you can email me at karirobbins80@gmail.com. I'm looking forward to updating everyone after my call tomorrow!
