How long ago was this and what was/is your recovery like? How much time did you schedule off work? I'm donating a kidney later this year and the doctors made the donor's recovery process sound pretty intense.

BTW, your wife is super lucky she married you! The average wait time to get a kidney when you're type O is 2-3 years in the US.

lol that’s the only reason anyone ever does AMAs. Everyone ALWAYS has something to promote. Channing Tatum isn’t answering questions about sandwiches on Reddit because he’s bored on a Tuesday.

Reaching out to a community organization isn’t too many steps. The steps after that are. I’m in a liberal state with a Medicaid expansion and I went through the process with an organization whose goal is to get low income people hooked up with mental healthcare. The person submitting my paperwork made a mistake that meant I had to wait two months to try to apply again. The next time wasn’t successful either because nobody told me that you’re supposed to wait to get rejected, appeal the rejection, then drop the appeal once an appeal hearing is scheduled with a judge, then reapply. I ended up giving up after six months.

If there’s a community organization you can call and say “hi, I need mental healthcare” and they say “sure, can you come in next Tuesday?” that would be great, but I haven’t found one yet.
