McAllen teacher dies after donating kidney to her mother | mcallen, donating, kidney - TheMonitor.com
I have posted the link for the article here. One thing to note: the article says the donor underwent a kidney transplant, when she actually underwent a nephrectomy (removal of her kidney) so that it could be transplanted into her mother. As a living kidney donor, I have to wonder how such a thing could have happened. Although death of a donor is very rare, how very sad for this whole family! Would like to know more about what actually happened to this woman . . .
Modified on 2/13/18: I was married to man who was a Type 1 diabetic for over 30 years. He also had sleep apnea, spinal stenosis, neuropathy, gastroparesis, and retinopathy. He had triple bypass surgery and a kidney transplant (I was the living donor). Because of his high and low blood sugars, mood swings were a constant concern. Although I tried very hard to stay, we lost each other along the way. Leaving was a very tough decision for me, but staying was even more difficult.
