Update on Mrs. Bigride (March 23, See Post #76)

[bigride]

After overcoming many hurdles and successfully navigating cancer surgery, Candi is officially approved for the kidney transplant list.

I know many of my drifter friends have been praying and have been a source of immense encouragement through this medical minefield. I know "the drift" is taboo, but that meandering tableau of tomfoolery sure helped take the edge off some pretty stressful days. Thank you all. I appreciate you more than you will ever know.

Now we wait. We have some loving friends that have already volunteered to be tested as potential donors. So many people love Candi, and I am humbled and amazed at their willingness to make this kind of selfless sacrifice. I know the journey isn't over, but it sure is comforting to know we aren't alone on the trail.

I will update this thread with any future major developments. We are "on call" all the time as a kidney could become available at any time. You can always feel free to send a PM for an update or question if you don't hear from me. This forum has been a Godsend...literally. Thanks to all of you. Blessings and peace to all.

Paul

Try not to be amazed at what people will do for you.
It should be and usually is a way of life for decent people.
Candi will recieve my prayers, as will you.
In his name it will be done.

 

[bigwheelzip]

We pray for continued good results for Candi, and peace of mind for you.
Thanks for the update.

I had been wondering about her. There is a little heart with the word Donor on it on my drivers license. It's good for kidneys and anything else worth harvesting. May God be with you and Candi.

 

[shouldazagged]

Good news, Paul, and I hope there is more of the same soon. You and she and the whole family are in my thoughts and prayers.

We are just waiting. We are maintaining the status quo.

Just pretend this is witty.

 

[yeti]

Hang in there. Still praying & thinking of you & Candi.

 

[da gimp]

know that she & you are in our prayers... I'm sorry I missed this thread when it first was posted sir.

Just saw this thread, as a cancer survivor myself, I know a few of the trials and tribulations that can arise during the process of getting well. Modern medicine has made great strides, and my family and I extend our thoughts and prayers that you and Candi have a successful and healthy outcome.

Best Regards, Les
