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, I should have expected as much! Mayo is so efficient with their marathon schedule of appointments. You will sleep well after all of that, too.
That would be nice to get the stitches out. I'll cross my fingers for you;-) It would be a nice mood boost to get the leg brace off for part of the time too.

Later on, when you advance to a regular wheelchair think about how cool it could be with some shiny wheels, or maybe a red bicycle horn (like we had as kids with the rubber bulb that you had to squeeze "honk honk" ) 🙂
See you tomorrow,
Rosemary

@glinda That is wonderful to hear! Going for a ride outside of your room must have been exciting. But the hair cut and shampoo must have felt heavenly - that's how I remember it feeling:-)
You are going to surprise those docs on Friday. I know they will be pleased with your progress!
Thank you for sharing the good news.

@glinda I think that your daughter must be happy to see her Mom making progress, too.

@glinda Wondering what activities are on the schedule for you today. The radar is showing sunny and maybe in the 50's. Until the outside digits reach my age I stay mostly inside. I am still waiting to hear the Red Wings!

For me it's four walls looking out the window at squirrels and physical therapy and a visit from my big sister Tammy and my Aunt Mary from Michigan which is a 4 hour drive from there to here in Eau Claire
Thank you for the picture I so can't wait to get back to being out side again and getting back to my normal life this is so hard but I won't stop till I'm walking again

@parus If I didn't go outside until the temps reached my age I would be in all of the time!
It is sunny here today but the temps are not predicted to get out of the 30s.
Such a pretty bird in the picture. I am not familiar with "red wings".
