Dating as a Transplant Patient
Okay im a 31 year old and im finding it hard to date as a transplant patient. Is it me or is anyone else experience this also. Ive been in several long term relationships but some just cant't deal with the fact that I am a transplant patient and some cant deal with the fact that i will have to go on dialysis one day. Anyone else having these issues to?
Thanks for any input.

Hello
Im new to Transplant Cafe so im trying to learn my way around the website. Im 31 years old and live in Virginia. I have had (2) Kidney Transplants. I was born with only (1) kidney that was only functioning at 16%. They gave me only 6 months to live. My Dad donated me a kidney when i was 8 years old then had a second transplant when i was 22 where i received a cadaver which was a 8 year old boy that lost his life in a ATV accident. Look forward to meeting new people on here.
