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 :)

Hair's a pretty big deal. But the change can be pretty interesting too, witness:
ReplyDeleteDemi Moore - G.I. Jane (1997)
Natalie Portman - V for Vendetta (2005)
Persis Khambatta - Star Trek the Motion Picture (1979)
Rebecca Romijn - X-Men I, II, III (2000, 2003, 2006) - and she's blue!
So, I don't mean to trivialize, but your hair isn't you.
Warmest regards.
Tracy, this must be so hard. I have another friend going through some of the same symptoms although different diseases. You may find her blog interesting to read and relate to. See what worked for her and what didn't.
