Wanted: Organ Transplant Recipients Who Have Been Hit By a Car

Posted by Rosemary, Volunteer Mentor @rosemarya, Feb 26, 2018

"Are there any transplant recipients of any organ who have been hit by a car? How did you recover? What helped you to recover from the multiple injuries?
I am posting this discussion question on behalf of one of our members,
@glinda who has recently been hit by a car and asked me to do it for her. Due to multiple injuries, she may not be able to respond right now and can read your messages.
Your support and encouragement will be appreciated as she recovers.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

@glinda Yes, now the hard work begins. Here is a little something to help your eyes feel happy. Things like you are experiencing only happen in the movies-unfortunately, they do occur in real life. Too early here for flowers other than some painting I have done from last summer's flower garden. Will keep you close in thought.

@glinda you have been through so much, after having a transplant I can’t imagine having an accident and having to deal with what you are dealing with now. I admire your strength.
I am glad you have family close by, that must help.

@glinda Good day! Being in bed most of the time can be boring. I spent a month in one with the view of a ski slope in Jackson Hole, WY. A broken femur in a horse accident. Then a body cast for 2 months with home care. I was plastered!! Hey, you have us to keep you company and encourage you on your journey.
Today I am one tired grandma, new pains and aches as I was hit by my 3 year old grandson which is better than a car for sure. The little guy is most entertaining and my inner child comes forth to play, play, play. Our main adventure yesterday was stalking zombies.
Attaching another colored pencil drawing from my lovely flower garden last summer.

Wow, @parus, you certainly know something about a long rehab! Your broken femur sounds awful. Do you still have pain from that injury?

By the way, I love the drawing- beautiful colors.

Looking forward to seeing you post the picture of the duck someday (grin, grin). I know that @glinda will enjoy it as well.

@rosemarya Well, the best I get is an apology for the cold gel - how sad it that.

@glinda I know what you mean. When they turn on the sound and I hear the "thump, thump" I know that all is still good 🙂
