Clarification and HOLY CRAP!

First off I must clarify something, after receiving a message from a friend about them having A blood type I thought, Hrmmmm if my friend has the same blood type as me then why is mine supposedly so rare... Turns out that it's not the A part that is rare, it's the RH- part. Most people on the earth have RH+ which is also true in primates. RH- people don't seem to share the same blood grouping as primates... What it means? probably not a whole heck of a lot but I still find it cool that I'm somewhat unique or in a minority group. YAY! There is a really interesting but somewhat errrrr.. strange article about my odd blood type. Read about it HERE!

Now on to the HOLY CRAP!

Over the past 6 months we have forged a friendship with two really great people, they have shared our frustrations in the world of organ transplantation as they were also on the list... This morning as I prepared myself for the meeting I will have here in my home office with a very important person (unidentified at this time). I got a text message indicating a new email...

Subject: (friend) being transplanted right now!

I began to tremble with a wave of PURE excitement.... WOW! and ummm... "HOLY CRAP!" ahahahahahaa You have no idea how amazing it feels to know that your newly found friend will now have a chance to once again live a semi normal existance.

Now to further explain why I'm so thrilled, out of all the people in the transplant group and I do dearly love them all. This person I felt simply "MUST" get his transplant done. And although I had not said anything I could visibly see that he wasn't doing as well as he pretended. He and his "new wife" yeah that's right, he's recently married like just before going on the transplant list. That says something for the power of love eh? They are two nice people who deserve this oppourtunity.

Now at this time I can see some light at the end of our transplant tunnel, my mother is starting to feel better and was able to make the climb down, then up the stairs in our home for the first time in over two weeks. This means that she will be strong enough to be a viable transplant patient once again. We will undoubtedly be in the physio room once again on Tuesday come hell or high water!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you friend and your wife :)

Cheers!
