[QUOTE="slantnosechevy, post: 983679, member: 21514"] Let me turn this unpositive thread into a POSITIVE one. This should make everyone smile because it happened to one of our brothers in brown. A guy who does it right and yet struggles like all of us to balance work and home. The driver was born with one kidney. He had no problems until 10-12 years ago and the kidney went bad and he ended up on dialisis. He immediatly applied for a new kidney. There was quite a list in front of him. His chances were very slim to find one in time when out of nowhere a donor appeared. The transplant was a success and he returned to work. Within days he was back to normal and bitching like all of us. It was proof he was back. Then a year and a half ago the kidney started going bad and again he was on dialisis. Once again he went on the list and was told there was a long wait. In the mean time one of our feeder drivers lost a dear friend. He started wondering if his friend and our driver were a match. It was a longshot but he made the phonecalls to get the ball rolling. It turned out they were. The transplant was a success and he returns to work next week. The odds that all this happened within our building is just plain crazy numbers. The main point is never never never never give up. He never did. [/QUOTE]
