My 75 year old sister’s kidneys are failing. She was triple jabbed. She has had diabetes for a number of years. It is now taking its toll on her kidneys. She was always overweight from childhood.

She called me yesterday to let me know and asked if I would consider being a donor.

I said yes but I need more information on what that means. I know my husband would object and wouldn’t want me to donate.

She is going to a medical center to see if she is even eligible to get a donor kidney.
I am one of six sibs but half are diabetic (including my sister). The remaining sibs all have said they would be donors. But one had cancer tumor in past (now cancer free) and the other has had multiple surgeries ( 5 spinal fusions, knee and shoulder replacements and a variety of other surgeries).

I am most likely the healthiest and youngest of them all but was recently told I am pre diabetic. I’m working on getting my weight down and have been eating less carbs.

I would like to help her out to stay off dialysis but am a bit concerned about going into a hospital (any hospital) these days to remove a kidney. I am unjabbed. Has anyone else done this?
