Who is Dawn, you are wondering? Maybe not, but I'll tell you anyway.
Once upon a time, I was at the Transplant Clinic and the receptionist screwed things up really good. Not for me, but for a woman named Dawn.
I started getting things in the mail for her. Packages. A letter telling her she couldn't be on the active transplant list until she lost the amount of weight they'd discussed (yes, I know it was illegal to open that but I had to figure out who to call to tell them that all their information for Dawn was wrong- phone number, address, EVERYTHING.) I cried when I read that. It broke my heart. I can't handle knowing people out there need kidneys and that most people are too scared to help them at all. It sucks. Nell Johnson- remember her, anyone? Mrs. Johnson, the teacher- she's in DESPERATE need. She's so sick...no one can or will help. She's one of 80,000+. But anyway---
guess what I got? I got a call from Fairview Home Care! GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS!!! OUR GIRL GOT HERSELF A KIDNEY! WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for her!!!!!
Either that, or she's started dialysis at home instead of the hospital, but I'm going to hope that it was transplant surgery that made the home care nurse call.
Here's hopin', anyway!
