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

@glinda I am sorry about this setback. I hope you are able to recover rapidly and get back to your rehab center. I know you must be exhausted, being in the hospital does that I think, but when you are up to it please keep us informed. When I have been hospitalized all I want to do is sleep generally.
JK

@glinda - I want you to know that I will be praying because that is what I firmly believe in. When I was ‘down’, my family and friends prayed for me. So I share the same with you.
I am sorry to hear of this setback and complications. You are in a good place with a great medical team to look after your medical needs. So try to let yourself rest so that your body will have every bit of strength it can produce for its current needs. I am sure that responding is difficult for you. I understand.
Stay warm, ok? I hope you get to go to St Mary’s tomorrow.
Rosemary

@glinda - I’ll be thinking about you today. I hope that you can be transported to St Mary’s. I also hope for a comfortable ride.
Praying for peace and healing,
And a hug,
Rosemary

@glinda

I am agreeing with Rosemary's prayers for you and will add my own.

Blessings for wisdom and healing to you and your medical team,

Teresa

@glinda Thankful to hear you are sleeping. Your body needs the rest as the two of you have been through a lot. Keeping you in my thoughts too.

Hi Rosemary, sorry it's been awhile but I just wanted to let you know I never had to be transferred to Saint Mary's at all the hospital here in Eau Claire got me stablized and I came backe to the rehabilitation center this last Tuesday and stood on my left leg with a mechanical assist device on wedsnday and Thursday my first steps in recovering . I go to Rochester MN.on the first of May to see about have my ostoyme and iliostoyme repaired and to have the gallbladder tube removed then I see my transplant team that afternoon am doing much better since I left the other care center I was at will keep you updated on what I find out in Rochester and on my progress thank you for all the prayers
Glinda

@glinda thank you for the update. Thankful things are improving for you.

@glinda I'm so happy to hear things are improving. Recovering is hard work but you seem to be doing wonderfully, keep it up, and keep us posted on your progress.

@glinda, It is wonderful to hear this update from you. A while ago I said that I hoped you would get transferred to St. Mary's. Well, I take that back! It looks like I was wrong in my wishing. I am happy for you and for the team in Eau Claire that they were able to treat you locally.

I know that you have been, and are very busy. However, I want to share the following Video presentation with you - if you are interested (and anyone else who will be visiting you) - Video Q&A and Behind-the-Scenes: Liver Transplant - It will "be showing the procurement process for a liver transplant, but the process at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, FL, is essentially the same for all organs."

Yes! We are all looking forward to your continuing recovery. Keep on with those slow, steady steps.
Is the snow melting there? Is the sun shining?

Rosemary

Hi, Rosemary, and yes the snow is finally melting and the sun is finally shining we have been in the upper 50s low 60s for the last few days so it's nice to see some green grass and the ground for the last few days and yes I will keep everyone updated on my progress and recovery
