sense because they want to make sure that you fully understand what’s at risk,” says Karzin, noting that every time he had a medical or screening test, he passed it. “It was like affirmation. We just need to keep going.”
“Being a living donor in any situation is clearly a sacrifice,” says Nissen. “In Keith’s case, we were confident when we spoke to him and were evaluating him that it was really being done without hesitation and from just the sincere hope that his mother-in-law would have a better life.”
Today, Sharon Dziubala is again spending time with her grandchildren and traveling with her husband. In fact, the couple recently returned from a driving vacation to Yellowstone National Park and Mt. Rushmore.
“I feel wonderful. I feel like I did when I was 40, and I’m well over that,” says Dziubala, who actually turned 69 in October. “I never thought I’d feel this well again.”
“The reality is, yes, this is major surgery and, yes, it hurts,” Karzin states. “But throughout the process, you know why you’re doing it and that’s what gets you through. And then you recover, and then you’re back to normal. You can go through this process and it can have a tremendous impact on people’s lives.”
More than 92,000 Americans currently await life-saving organ transplants, with 17 people dying each day due to the shortage of donated organs. Every year hundreds of thousands of people need donated tissue to prevent or cure blindness, heal burns or save limbs, and one out of three people will need donated blood in their lifetime, according to Donate Life America, the national organization for onation and transplantation.
