YAYYY!!!!

Hello Everyone!!!  I'm here!!!!  My name is Dee and I'm a 25 year old female from Wisconsin.  I've been sick for many years now.  I lost my kidneys at 19 and was transplanted at 21.  I lost my transplant at 23 and am now awaiting the good news that I might be transplanted again.  I have also managed to be diagnosed with heart failure as well....so the possibility of getting a new kidney is slim to none....Something about how if I got a kidney, my heart wouldn't be able to support it.....   :urcrazy;  Anyhow.... I'm still an AWESOME person and I can't wait to meet more AWESOME people like me!!!

YAYYY!!!!
