PatientsLikeMe ™

I have been a Diabetic for a little more than 28 years. In 2005, my nephrologist began to tell me that I would probably eventually need a kidney transplant. That day finally arrived a few weeks ago when she referred me to the transplant team. I recently began writing a blog about my experience http://michaelburketransplant.blogspot.com Even though I knew this day was coming, it still scared the hell out of me (still does). Just looking to gain a little understanding from those who have been through it. UPDATE: On June 7th, 2011, I received a kidney from my brother, Tom.
