Me licking my kidneys from my birthday kidney cake
« on: October 10, 2011, 07:11:57 PM »
(I am not sure if this is the right spot to post this, so please feel free to move it should the need arise  ;D )

Tomo I go have my image of my kidneys and that is the last step in my evaluation and then I will go at the back of "the list" which is only over 150K poeple so my name will sure come up so fast.....  :'( How daunting that is just to type it!!!

I have no family willing to be tested so I will sit on that list literraly for the next 10 years waiting and then people wonder why I was struggling with proceding with transplant or not and why it took me over a year just to decide to do it or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am hoping for a miracle to come my way or maybe even a guardian angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :pray;

Oh that is great.  Miracles do happen.  Just be ready to take some tests over because they have to be current.  That part is frustrating.

Keep us posted.

If I spy a little Guardian Angel hovering around I'll be sure to send him/her in your direction so that you get your own little miracle. 

*squeee* for being on The List!
