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

@glinda so glad to hear how well you are doing. You sound so positive. Keep that attitude up, being positive serves us well I believe.

@glinda I am sorry to hear of the dry skin and itching - that can be very worrisome.
Do you have products to use for it?
Teresa
Yes I have triamacolone which is a steroid cream and hydrocortisone cream and that helps alot
@glinda I am sure those creams are the best for the type of itching you are experiencing but there is another non-prescription cream that is specifically for itchy skin and I have used it and found that it does help. The name of it is Sarna, and I bought it right at the local drug store. I have not used the prescriptions you mention.
JK
I have used sarna before but I also have extreme eczema and have tried everything including sarna so my dermatologist order the tramicolone ointment and the hydrocortisone cream because I have a lot of allergies also that cause me to break out in a rash not fun can't walk barefoot at anytime especially outside in the grass as I break out and blister from it
@glinda Thankful to hear you are progressing. Remaining positive is the best thing.
@glinda Keeping you in my thoughts.
Thank you I see the orthopedic surgeon here in Eau Claire on Tuesday and will keep everyone informed on how my right hip and left leg is doing and whether I get the stitches out and can be weight bearing on it
