Hello there, as I have just joined, I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Martyn and you may have seen me blundering around the Renal Unit at the lovely new Walsgrave site, or at Stratford. I am 41 and hoping to get a new kidney form my dad (if all the tests work out), or one from a generous donor (if they don't!!)
I am quite new to all of this kidney stuff, and it would be good to hear form people is a similar position. I will apologise in advance for my abysmal typing, my eyes aren't too good and I don't like this tiny font size!!

Regards

Martyn

Hi Martyn

Glad you joined our site. It is great news to hear that you will be receiving a kidney from your dad. I have been transplanted 10 yrs, just having a bit of a blip at the mo, but it should be sorted this week. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Joanne

Thanks for that, I'll take you up of the offer. I hope that I get a chance to say hello at the AGM, although I guess there will be plenty of other people wanting to do the same!!

see you there

Martyn

Hi Martyn
Glad u have joined us and look forward to meeting you at the AGM. Hope u found the directions on the website ok. I have changed the font size in this chat room. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and let me know if it's still too small. I have had my transplant 9 years now from an unknown donor and all is well. I hope all goes well for a future transplant for u too.
Best wishes
