The details and the news story on WGNS:
At the age of 21 in 2009, Josh Surovey was diagnosed with having a chronic kidney disease. During what would normally be a simple biopsy, things went wrong. He nearly died twice and had to receive 6 blood transfusions. Despite the mishap, the kidney problems were still there.
In 2012, Josh started dialysis and worked hard to get healthy losing 160 pounds along the way.
Josh spoke to WGNS' Scott Walker on Tuesday...
Josh said that the journey has been mentally exhausting. His first thought was, "Why me?" He said, "I was down on myself."
However, those feelings of depression soon changed even though the kidney is still needed. It was like a fire was lit underneath Josh and he had a new found passion to live. Josh said, "God brought me through this man, honestly." He went on to state, "I'm looking forward to life, I'm living life!"
He told us that he is in need of a Type O donor and that the donor will be able to live a normal healthy life after donating.
