Dear Pete,
I am sorry it takes SO long. Stay strong. I think that they do it this way in order to make sure that they afford you the best possibility. Time will tell. Is there a way to publish your search for a kidney ? In newspapers or on the internet or maybe in a TV show ? We have a weggie friend on facebook from UK who was in the TV show "a year later" first with her bad saddle nose and then with her new nose. I can ask her if you will want me to, to see if she can help through that TV show or similar.
Keeping you in my daily prayers. Dr. Phil is also praying for you from his good place in the presence of Our Lord ❤
