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.

I keep the triamacolone on hand as well. When the regular moisturizers stop working I go to that. Otherwise, I get patches of sandpaper like skin.

2 Reactions@glinda I understand what you mean. My snake-skin is just above my ankle, maybe from the socks I wear - I just can't figure it out.

1 Reaction@glinda Sure hope you get those stitches out tomorrow! Itching is a worrisome thing. My thyroid medication makes me itch until around this time in the afternoon. I have started having several side effects from it. I have to take it and waiting for a call from endo doctor.
My day lilies are popping through as well as the yarrow and irises. The Red Wing Blackbirds have returned.
This is a photo of my favorite wrangle horse Top Cat whilst I was working in WY-in the 70's. Some wonderful memories from those years.
Take care and keep that positive attitude!!!
