“When I saw D.A.’s post, I was really moved,” Perham told Hansen. “My husband Charlie and I are driving from Tucson to Denver on Sunday. The transplant surgery is Wednesday.
“I feel good about it. All of the doctors have been very meticulous. I’ve gone through so many tests, jumped through so many hoops. They are careful not only about getting the exact match for the person with kidney disease, but also not to hurt the donor. It has been a really long process. I’m excited.”
Perham had go to through a number of tests before finding out she was a match.
“I kept moving up the list,” Perham told Hansen. “Finally, at the end of June, they told me I was the only person who had passed every test. They asked if I was still interested. I said, ‘You bet.’ I’m super, super lucky to be healthy enough to be the donor.”
