Donna Mller replied to Chris Daugherty's discussion Tell Your Story"Sounds like a good idea. I thought about it too. Alot has happened since and before I got my kidney in 1971. I even had a NDE before I got my father's kidney. Good luck in your book. If I can help let me know."

Here in FL when you get your driver license renewed they ask if you want to be a organ donor. Hey they can have whatever they want when I am gone if it meant a better quality of life for someone else. Our dear friend died in May, he was only 49. He had a fall and caused brain damage and was a vegetable. Thanks to the stamp on his drivers license, it was easier for his family in any decission of what to do. From what we were told Mark who lived in OK helped 14 people in their quality of…See More

This was the beach day after the storm came through. This was the day after. So much erosion. The waves were still pretty high.
Donna Mller posted a blog postHello Everyone
I accidently ran into your site and glad I had. It is nice to share your concerns and fears with other who have or about ready to go through what I had. Isn't it wonderful to get a second chance? I had my transplant in 1971 from my father. I was 17 and will be 60 next month. I enjoy my husband and our four kids ( in fact our cats ) We have Ozzie, a brown and black tabby, Harriet, a Tuxedo, Kiki a 6 toe Hemmingway,and our new baby Floyd, a solid white with a little skid of tan on top of…See More

- I had my transplant in 1971. My father had given me a second chance in life. He was 46 and I was 17. I will be 60 August 17th. I had two healthy sons which gave me 7 grandchildren and in there a set of twins granddaughters who now are 16. I have been really been blessed. The doctor who invented Gatorade at the university of Gainesville, Dr. Robert Cade was my doctor. What a wonderful man and doctor he was. He passed away a few years back. Keep a good attitude and don't panic when things come up because they will. Take each day as a gift and just live to the fullest and thank God every morning when you get up and use that bathroom, lol. Blessings and prayers to all who have gone through this. I know each day you worry when it will stop. Don't think that, think I am here another day. God Bless, Donna

David Goodman commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Dottie,
If your doc write BS/BS and specifies that you need prograf, not a generic med, they will back down. It's up to a doc to decide. All generic meds aren't the same as the name brand. At MGH they prefer prograf, although they said…"

Laura posted a discussionHere we go again....and again!
So I had my first liver tx in 2005 (living donor) and had bile duct issues. I had a 2nd tx March 16th and have bile duct problems yet again and now I'm faced with needing a 3rd tx. Has anyone out there had 3 transplants? I've been stuck in hospital since March and the doctors want to send me home...even though I still require IV antibiotics and a VACC system. My family and I are quite nervous.
