A friends news

Hi, I wanted to tell you about a friend of mine from high school days. His name is Randy Witt. He needed a liver and after 7 calls and close to having the operation trys, he finally got a good one! He was in the hospital for like 15 days and finally got to come home. He is doing great! Talking to him has given me encouragement, more than you can imagine. I knew what to tell him about the transplant part and now he has shared with me what to expect after you get home from the transplant. It has been very good to have someone to share this ordeal with and who knows exactly what I went through. I just wanted to share his story! A SUCCESS STORY!!!! Yea!! :)

Update

Hi, I have never posted anything on here before, but found out that people actually read this, so I thought I'd better update everyone.

I have been relisted to get the kidney/pancreas transplant. They reinstated all my days since they took out the organs. So it keeps me close to the very top of the list. I think there are only 3 people that have my blood type on my list.

The weirdest thing that has happened to me since the 2nd surgery (the removal of organs) is that I have lost my hair. It was about to my waist and now it is about 2" long. There are a few longer strands that I had cut to above my shoulders, so I can pull it back and it looks decent in the front. Those of you that know me, know I was VERY attached to my hair. This has been a humbling experience to say the least.

I call my transplant coordinator about once a month to make sure they haven't forgotten about me. And she assures me they have not. She says my turn will come.

I think it was around October 12, when I started all of the testing to get on the list. The tests are only good for one year. So, I am praying for new organs before that date.

Otherwise, I feel relatively good and am happy. I work 12 months, so that has kept me busy for sure. I hope all of you are well. God Bless you!!

Tracy :)
