Now that Thompson now not has to have dialysis therapies, he says he’s feeling significantly better, has extra free time and appears ahead to doing the issues he enjoys once more.

He not solely appreciates his daughter’s kidney donation, which is giving him his renewed zeal for all times, but in addition his spouse of 40 years, Judy, for making it attainable for him to do his dialysis therapies at dwelling previous to the transplant surgical procedure.

“My spouse Judy is my hero. My daughter Shelly is my lifesaver, and Future is my grandbaby and my cause for dwelling,” Thompson stated.

Thompson is also grateful that his transplant surgical procedure occurred within the nick of time, earlier than the hospital modified its procedures due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“I believe I squeaked in there by someday. They have been speaking about stopping transplant surgical procedures till the center of Could due to the coronavirus, and that may’ve broke my coronary heart,” Thompson stated.

Thompson’s transplant surgical procedure had already been postponed as soon as. The surgical procedure was scheduled for Feb. 18, however Thompson’s fistula to deal with the needles for his dialysis therapies ruptured the day earlier than the scheduled surgical procedure, and he practically bled to dying. He known as 911 and paramedics saved his life.

“God has saved my life so many instances. It’s not simply as soon as,” Thompson stated. He is also a survivor of testicular most cancers and has had a number of surgical procedures because of hernias.

Regardless of all the pieces he has been via, Talbott stated her dad all the time has a constructive perspective and humorousness, joking with the docs and nurses all through the entire kidney donation course of.
