@beckyjohnson Lololol! You have a great sense of humor! I understand all those mixed emotions, as you know, let go and let God and all will turn out the way it's supposed to.

At this point I must admit I could not have forseen waiting to hear rather I've been accepted as a donor would be riddled with emotion.
Emotion 10: impatience – really? I have a solid reputation for having patience of a saint
Emotion 11: urgency! 22 people on average a day are dying – that means around 88 people have died since I began this process
Emotion 12: joy… another contradiction/ balance of my rose colored lense/ realist fusion personality: at least the process has been started & just maybe a chain of 22 lives may be saved & 88 positively touched

Finished today's business while wondering will I get that special communication encouraging me on to the next step but it's after 5pm so not today. Although today's post feedback was quite interesting.
Emotion 13: confusion to know or not know the recipient presuming I'm even accepted
Emotion 14: annoyed by the fact I cannot figure out how to get my real life double rainbow profile picture to present upright because it is very symbolic to transplants, sunshine & rain

@jodeej Thank you very much especially considering I have on rare occassion been accused of being boring. Although I have also been labeled funny a time or few. As a laid back type of gal I could not agree with you more to just let go and have faith in God. I'm certain it will get easier once confusion matures in to an actual plan of action. It is getting things done that creates calm in my soul.

@beckyjohnson, the health of both donor and recipient are of primary importance. And although there is urgency, every person has unique physical needs that require a very complete evaluation to get the best possible match.
Take care of yourself and allow the process to unfold in a safe and healthy manner.
Enjoy your weekend:-)

Indeed this is entirely about improving the quality of life for everyone on board as well as from many elements of life - physical, psychological, emotional, medical & scientific to name a few. Thank you for the advice & have a wonderful weekend as well.

Emotion 15: Joy. After objectively rereading "The Journey from the Donors Side" I recognized an uplifting pattern - that is every donor experienced the emotion of genuine joy at some point along the journey. That is a blessing in and of its own

Emotion 16: Sincerity - from the depths of my soul I have believe that every single person posting on Mayo Connect have faith in something far greater than any one of us. Because of this we are able to connect with honesty & bond with purity

Emotion 17: Excitement Yea I've been approved for the 1st level of donor tests
