Lynn and I were able to take our first tour through a dialysis center today in Schertz, TX. The very supportive, open and accommodating staff introduced us to 2 clients and explained the process and procedures. Fun Fact

A nephrologist, Dr. Shafiu, spoke and his story was very interesting as he is a kidney recipient himself. He talked to me about how when he was on dialysis and was so tired how hard it was for him the get his medical degree, but he persevered.

Last night a 2am Ashley, who we met at the event in Odessa 2 weeks ago received a deceased kidney and pancreas. I visited her for just a few minutes.

I was able to ride around San Antonio some. We are staying with a cousin of Lynn.

The Alamo…I was eating an apple. Right after this selfie I was asked to leave the grounds as no bikes, even if walked, are allowed.
Took a quick picture of Davy Crockett on the way out…neither of us survived The Alamo!

Hi! I’m Mark Scotch. Follow me on my kidney donation journey. My wife Lynn, and I share the knowledge gained regarding the need for living donors. I am here to prove that donors can return to their previous level of activity and good health, functioning only on a single kidney, even if that includes vigorously sustained activities.
