Title: I have a new kidney!!
Post by: joyfulmother on March 31, 2010, 07:38:01 PM
Saturday I got the call from Vanderbilt telling me they had a kidney for me!

Sunday afternoon I had the transplant. I go home tomorrow. It happened so quickly. I am so blessed to get a kidney after only being on the list for seven months.   I'll share more when I get to my laptop instead of my iPhone.

Oh my God!  Listen, I feel so hopeless right now, and I want so much to hear about EVERYTHING regarding your experiences.  I am so frightened at the prospect of lingering years and years and years and years and never getting a chance at life that I could just kill myself right now, so I am so in the mood for a wonderful story like yours.  I can't wait to hear more about it, but until then, take really good care of yourself and rejoice!  How wonderful!

EXCELLENT NEWS JOYFUL :-)

I know you have been going through some rough times and were feeling real down lately.  Lack of energy, feeling ill and  homeschooling your children ect ect.

All i can say is your PRAYERS were heard and answered.  HAPPY EASTER TO YOU. :cuddle;

Makes a change to find an "up" story here. There seem to be nine "downs" to every "up".

Good luck with your kidney — may it last as long as you need it.
