I hope the wait isn't long and you receive the " gift of life "! Sorry going to the Transplant Games with my daughter that sayings is a BIG thing. I wish the best for you and maybe I will see you on TV some day at the Transplant Games receiving the gold medal for being the BEST! If not I wish you get a transplant and live the life you want too! Take care...
