My Doctors update

Well, I hope and pray the time is almost here. Wednesday Dr. McGuire told me that he hope it will be next week for you to receive a liver. Alex asked me was I scared, I told him I am not scared but I am anxious, excited, and happy about it all, now when the call comes I will then probably be real scared, I have faith in God and I know he will take care of me and the donor's family.
It is very hard to think that someone has to die to be able to save my life, it is hard to find words to express how grateful I will be not for just now but for the rest of my life. It is an amazing thing to be a donor, I have been a donor a long time, I was a donor before I needed a transplant. IT really makes me sad, and I will have to pray I can be strong after my transplant just thinking that someone just saved my life. I have been on the list for a year and really God has blessed me somewhat of a normal life. I would not know what it would be like to not itch, the doctor told me that he did one other surgery where the person itched like me and immediately when he woke up his itching was gone, that itself makes me happy I Can't Wait. I don't know if some of you understand about the itching. Your liver filtrates the toxins out of your body and my liver isn't the toxins are getting into my skin which causes server puritus, none of the medicines worked for me. I met a man at the Liver Walk last Sat. who had PBC and I got to talk to him and it was amazing, he said his itching was so bad also but the doctor put him on rifphamin and his itching immediately stopped I wasn't that lucky I was on it and had a reaction to it, like flu like symptons and it turned me alittle jaundice so there went that idea and he wasn't even on the list yet I felt bad for him also proud for him not itching.

Thanks Mary
