Two Harts

After 15 beautiful years in Aiea, Hawaii we strike out once again. On to my "home" in Manhattan for new adventures. Hawaii and the people remain in our hearts.

Donating a Kidney - A Journey - Chapter 3



This is a photo is of the 3L container used for collection. The paperwork says:
This next step involves urine collection and blood draw. You will first collect your urine for 24 hours in a special container (seen above) that is picked up at a local contracted lab. Upon submission of the collected urine to the contracted lab an additional small sample of urine is submitted. A fasting blood draw is then done.

Results are expected in two weeks. I think they test for everything including beri beri. Fingers crossed! ;-)
