This and That and Talk - My Transplant

Posted by Rosemary, Volunteer Mentor @rosemarya, Apr 9, 2017

As our Mayo Connect community grows, I am constantly meeting organ transplant members on a wide variety of forums with a wide range of issues that are not directly transplant specific. However, because we are all transplant recipients, we have a special connection: a unique journey and best of all - a new life! We don't always need help or advice. Many times we just want to chat with someone like us! That is my purpose in starting This and That and Talk.

Drop in and say 'Hi'. You are welcome anytime.

What do you want t to talk about? What words can you offer to someone who is on the journey? Do you have any questions for another recipient?

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

I was wondering if anyone out there has had more then one transplant? I had a liver transplant 20 years ago in March and now I just got accepted on unos for a kidney transplant ! The drugs over time have basically wrecked my kidneys and I’m wondering if anyone else out there has experienced this ?

@gaylea1 let us know how you are feeling when you are up to it. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

@gaylea1 This is fabulous news. We will all be thinking of you. Especially at 5pm today. I doubt you'll notice it but there will be a bunch of people from this group squeezing your hand virtually as you get rolled in and also by your side when you wake up.

@rosemarya
Yes I thought it was Canada. I wish her well.

jeanne5009, Gaylea has share in an earlier post that she is in Toronto Canada.
I think you will hear it from Gaylea herself after she has regained her strength and recovered.
