Got a Spare Kidney Anybody ?

Santa, Can You Bring Me a Kidney for Christmas Please..

I’m not talking crazy nor am I talking figuratively. I’m asking for a Kidney this christmas for My Hubby.

I don’t talk about the hubby much, because he is so private. there is alot going on at my home right now in many ways. deaths, problems, issues with health and of course living with hubbys’ renal failure. His doctors have given him a no-go on a transplant. this is in essence a death sentence. a very slow and painful death sentence.

this is not a choice you get to make, when you need an organ; it’s a choice made for you by doctors, nurses and a committee.

yes a committee decides if you are worthy of receiving even a cadaver kidney..

this is ludicrous to me, because if I am willing to donate a kidney to be a part of a transplant chain, surely they can put it together. but alas that’s not how it works; if you are not a millionaire.

that’s why that mass transplant was such a christmas miracle for each of the donors and recipients. I pray for them all and ask you to think about your loved ones this year. you never know what could be just around the corner for you, health wise.

Then we have this story where the doctor himself is accused of Buying and Selling Organs. there have been many reports of Indian Organ Rackets over the years. this is the first time I have seen a doctor as the accused. this just goes to show you, how bad the problem is for those who are in need of an organ. India has a hospital system for transplants; and apparently it works.

As the loved one of someone who has been denied a chance at a transplant; and also as a confirmed Organ Donor; I just want to take this time to say to each of my friends – cherish the time, live it to it’s fullest and savour it like the finest cognac. Life is a present. there is nothing greater than being able to wake up and see the day, and those you love.

This Christmas, Think of those who Love You
