Thank You all for your kind thoughts and wishes.
My goodness, it's a big deal! Next time I hear someone say they donated a kidney they will have my complete respect from me - it sounds so simple!
The nurses won't be swayed on the bribe front.

Even the ward sister won't budge. You have too find a giggle somewhere don't ya?
The work that that hospital dept does is amazing.
Being around, and chatting to, people going through post op and all sorts of so many conditions really opened my eyes.
Help! - I'm next on the list!
