Christian Related on Medicare D

[Guest guest]

Thank You.

I was dx April 1985 & Transplanted on May 15th

1995.

I was number 1 on the list in Dec 1995 but I kept

getting UTI's and they cannot transplant you until

you have no infections - my gastro at Baylor

wrote a scrip for Cipro and it did not say take

until done to prevent infection coming back even

if you feel better - His scrip read Take Until

Transplanted. Friday May 12th I went to the

Urologist and he inserted a cath to get a clean

(sorry Brain Fog) hope you can know what I

mean. It was clear & he said I will fax to

your transplant Docs & I said NO - copy the report

and I am going to take it to transplant Docs now

and that was 4:30pm on a Friday.

Which I did and I got my beeper back. I was

#1 on the transplant list again. My mother

kept saying that she would love for me to

be told on Mother's Day we have you a donor.

She got her wish. I am a very Strong

Christian and I truly believe that GOD knew

who my Donor was before I was even a

thought.

I could have been transplanted in Dec while

I was there but they said why don't you go

home and have Christmas and come back

after New Year - They said you do not

want to be in ICU over the holidays.

On my flight back to Dallas I had a mask

on and I was an Airline Employee and

flew space available. They only had

one seat left in 1st Class more comfortable

so I sat in it and my Mother was in the

first row behind First Class. She told

the man sitting next to me I was going to

Dallas to get a Liver Transplant. Every

time I opened my eyes he was looking at

me to see if I was still breathing.

When they took me into the Operating

Room I was not sedated or no brave pills

and I was introduced to the whole crew.

They started putting me under and I said wait.

I need to say a prayer. "GOD this is a win

win situation I will either wake up at Baylor

or Heaven and either way is okay with me.

GOD please let me wake up soon if I am still

at Baylor so that You (GOD) or I are in

Control.". I woke up and was alert in

the operating room & the Doc went to

my family and friends and told them I was

awake and alert and that they could see me

in ICU in 30 minutes.

GOD is the one that is always in control.

They came in 30 minutes later and the

breathing tube was still in (only for 1 1/2 hrs

so I moved my hands to let them know I wanted

to write a note.) Your hands are tied down

so you do not pull out anything. She untied

my right hand and I wrote the note and they

could read it.

As for my Photo July 2004 - 35th Reunion.

I attended the 30th Reunion and one of

my best friends left her hospital bed and

came to the Reunion. She had Cancer and

was getting chemo and she looked sick.

She died a few weeks later.

I asked GOD to make me look not sick because

that was not how I wanted them to remember me.

That is the only way I looked not to sick.

I slept/rested a lot prior to Reunion.

What a Awesome GOD we have.

I am very very tired hope this makes sense.

Thanks again for allowing me to vent.
