Lucy Humphrey is 44 years old. Her doctors told her that she had 5 years to live. She spent years on the waiting list for a kidney (肾). Doctors said the chance of finding a perfect kidney for her was 1 in 22 million. Luckily, she met her “perfect match” on a beach by accident.
On that day, she and her husband, Cenydd, took their dogs Jake and Indie to the beach. Indie kept running off to a strange woman and would not leave her alone. “Indie went over like three times, back and forward to her,” Lucy explained. “She was camping on her own. In the end Cenydd went over to say sorry, and we got chatting and invited her over to our barbecue.”
The three started chatting, eating and drinking. The woman was Katie James. She is 40 years old. Lucy said she couldn’t drink alcohol (酒) because she was on dialysis(透析). Katie said she had recently planned to make a kidney donation. Maybe that would match. So they gave each other their telephone numbers. “To be honest, I didn’t think anything else would come of it,” said Lucy.
After a lot of tests, the result came back: Katie was a perfect match. Katie, Lucy and Cenydd have become friends since the donation. They have a group chat called “the Kidney Group.”
