Description

Went for my transplant clinic this morning. My regular doctors didn't come to W-B today. I saw a nephrologist who has come out of retirement from working in the transplant department, to help out. My first thought, Oh Boy! I loved him!! He was very thorough, we discussed my entire journey, he asked lots of questions. He looked over my labs, turned to me and said, "Your kidney function is like that of a teenager who has two normal functioning kidneys". I immediately fight back the tears, think of my Donor and answer, "I am so blessed!" I told him my donor was very young. He said, "Something positive has come from a tragedy, and your donor continues to live on inside of you". Words cannot describe my feelings. My heart hurts for my donor's family. How can such a miracle come from such a tragedy? Some days I feel guilty. I pray every day for my Donor and family. So today, I am reminded again, I am so grateful for this miracle I have been given ♻️
