I'm Back!

[The_Q]

Hi Everyone,


After 2 weeks in the hospital I am finally home and recuperating. Its been a long hard road but every day I am getting better. I cannot begin to thank each of you for the words of encouragement and kind words. Its a strange and beautiful thing having a kidney/ pancreas transplant. After being diabetic for 17 years now I have to get used to the fact that I can have sugar. I also can go through life without dialysis. I also found out that the donor was a 21 year old female who died in a car accident. Its a surreal, strange feeling that someone else is living inside of you. Thanks again for all the well wishes.

-Sean

Savor your ability to enjoy sugary snacks, now that you can!

Glad you're getting better, Sean.

w/b Sean...
Glad you're on the road to recovery, wish you could have made the Pagan's show in Addison, but this is obviously a bit more important...

Hello new and improved body, goodbye forever nasty old dialysis! I'm so glad things have gone so well, Sean.

Such awesome news!


And belated, posthumous thanks to the heroine who made it possible, too.

Way to go Sean! Enjoy that first Three Musketeers bar

Just goes to show that volunteering on your drivers license to be a donor is not just an academic exercise.

I'm glad to hear you are doing well Sean! I hope you recover quickly and get back to a normal life. Won't that be cool?

Yesterday I did a flight from Witchita to Chicago and we were carrying ocular tissue. Made me think of you. I hope we got it there in time (ATC gives us highest priority when we're carrying donor tissue).

Glad you are better Sean!
When are we going to the Chocolate Factory?

Fabulous news! In your honor, I will bake my world-famous* cheesecake for you next year and bring it to PP!



*well, at least in 2 states and with Urban, who's currently in Sweden. Sounds like the world to me.

Fantastic news!! It's so good to hear that your recovery is going great! One can only imagine that surreal feeling you described - it's quite the experience!

Hope to see ya soon!

 

[MetalRose]

YAY! I'm so happy for you and very thankful that the donor's family was able and willing to understand what a gift organ donation can be.

I'll call and catch up with you this weekend... And if you're not up to talking... I understand.

Sending much love to you!
