Live donor?!


Question:
It has come to my family's attention that my father is in kidney failer. The doctors say if his heart can take the surgery his best bet if for a live, biological donor. That leaves either my sister or myself since my father is adopted. I told him to let me know what I needed to do to find out if I'm a match or not. Now that I'm sitting at home 3000 miles from where my father is..why do I feel so freaked out? Its my kidney.I've grown rather attached to it and rather like it right where it is.but deny my father, no way!! I'm so mixed up.one minute I'm all for it the nest I'm like.WHOA.lets think about this.suggestions..
Answers:
It's perfectly normal to be afraid of surgery, especially in a case like this. I suggest thinking about how you would feel if you didn't do it and your father died when you knew you could help him. It's okay to be afraid as long as you don't let fear control you.
