I started this year with the hope that Dan would get a kidney in 2009. Now summer is here and we don't have a kidney yet... Of course the year is only half gone, but the process is so slow that I feel somewhat discouraged.
We do have a potential candidate that will get her physical in July and hopefully she will be healthy, healthy, healthy. It is hard to be positive and be prepared for the bad news, all at the same time. The brain plays tricks on you and you start mentally making plans about the transplant, the logistics for the business etc. and then you bring yourself down to reality. That is the reason that Dan stays a little detached from the process. The ups and downs are emotionally draining. He is getting adjusted to dealing with dialyisis while mantaining a working schedule. No easy task....

Hi Ticha,
This is Karen (Lumpkin) Sortor. Last year, I sent you a copy of the business card that was used to help find a kidney donor for me six and a half years ago. I understand how easy it is to get discouraged with the transplant process BUT a kidney IS going to be found for Dan and you just never know when the call or the donor is going to come about!! Yes, it could be a few months down the road before the right kidney becomes available but also keep in mind it could only be days away from Dan getting his new kidney!! It's a lot easier to say than actually doing but please try and stay positive...!!! I will continue to keep you and Dan in my prayers!
Positive thoughts!!
Karen
