A dream

Recommended Posts

I have been in the process of going through test to see if I can donate my kidney to my boyfriend. I thought I was not going to be able to do it. Now the transplant team thinks I will make a good donor. I have sacrificed my jumping until after the transplant is over. I will take 8 weeks to recover frome the surgery of having my kidney sawed out of me.
I am ordering a Javelin container (pink and purple) custom to fit my small frame. My plan is to get the rest of the gear ( a Sabre 2 135 and PD 126 reserve) this summer and retrain on about 6 to 7 student jumps. I will retrain my basic safety skills, paying close attention to the canopy control lessons. I do have my A license, but I feel it is in my and other jumpers best intrest if I get a little refresher course. I will enjoy my jumps more with my own rig. I will commit to jumping at least once a week weather permitting.
I really miss jumping. Jumping is not as fun when renting has to be part of the dive. I will have my beautiful container before the surgery. It will give me incentive to get well. I hope to be jumping regularly by this fall. Skydiving is a dream that I can make come true. Not just of skydiving itself, but a dream of finding my true self through this incredible sport. I want to just thank skydiving and let ** it** know how I truly respect what it is.

All I gotta say is that I hope this guy loves you as much as you love him. I hope you're doing this because you both know that you're going to spend the rest of your lives togeather, and not trying to prove your love, or make him love you.
To be completely honest, what you're about to do scares the crap out of me. And I'm scared for you, I'm scared about what's going to happen to you a year from now if he dumps you for someone else.
Of course it's your choice, and if this is what you really want to do then go ahead. Just make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

I'm scared about/for her too, I hope they told her and she understood all the possible health problems she could have down the road as she gets older or if she gets pregnant. For those very reasons even though I would have been a perfect match for my Mom, my family and I opted not to do it, cause of the chance the transplant wouldn't take or that down the road the new kidney could be damaged also. Trust me it was hard to decide against it after watching my Mom have kidney dialisis 3 times a week. She is currently still on dialisis, but no longer eligable to receive a donar kidney.

I have talked to many people at ST. Lukes hospital. These people are very good at what they do. There job for me is to make sure Im going to be a good donor. They acess me physically and mentally to ensure my well-being. I trust what they tell me. I myself am thankful that I can do this. I will be fine. I have a little girl and Im not having anymore children. He does not want to pass this illness on to another person and it is inherited.
I will bounce back and take very good care of myself and drink alot of water , to make sure my remaining kidney is healthy.

We will ALWAYS be together

Just because you're engaged doesn't mean you'll always be together (neither does a marriage)

take it to PMs guys.....

Can we move the whole thread to PM? Lets create an account that will just be a black hole for all PMs that way it's like a confessional or something you send your PM off the PM GOD listens but doesn't respond and no one hears you. Wouldn't that be great?
