Julie had the good fortune to be enrolled in a kidney exchange programme. And her chances were greatly increased because her husband, ray, was offering to donate one of his kidneys since he wasn't a match with julie. This is what's known as being a paired donor - meaning that ray was offering his kidney under the condition that his wife would receive a kidney donated by someone who was a match with her. i went on dialysis november first and then we had the transplant february fifth.
