Episode 5: Kody's Kidney Takes Flight - Four Weeks Later

After a week off, it's time for Vital Connections to get back on track. Can you believe it? It's been a whole month since Allen got his life-changing kidney transplant. And guess what? Today, on March 14th World Kidney Day, we're diving into a heart-to-heart with Kody Leibowitz, the amazing friend who stepped up to donate. In this episode, Allen and Kody catch up on all the nitty-gritty details. From those nerve-wracking phone calls that bumped up the surgery timeline to the thoughts swirling in their heads before going under the knife, they leave no stone unturned. If you ever wondered how that "good-looking kidney" made its cross-country journey from Sacramento to Philadelphia? Allen's got the inside scoop! *Allen spoke with Kody pre-surgery (Episode 2) about his decision and on this episode we discussed if anything changed in his thought process. Plus, now that this incredible chapter is behind him, does he have any advice for anyone considering donation and shares how just being present is just as impactful. If you haven't already, hit that subscribe button on Vital Connections, and then spread the word! Let's raise awareness about kidney disease together. Thanks a bunch!
