VERY, VERY OT A rant organ transplants

In addition to losing my brother this morning.... we just got back from
a vet appointment. My beloved, precious 10 yr. old Golden Retriever,
Missy, has a very aggressive, fast growing cancer in her gum area right
under her nose. She may have a month or two left.

I can't take much more today.

transplant list. If they have a liver of the correct size and correct
tissue match and you are too ill to survive the transplant surgery they
will tell you to wait a few days to try to get a bit stronger and then
you can have that liver. If your kidneys start to produce a tiny bit
of urine and you can stand at your bedside for a moment or two you are
then "too healthy" to stay in the #1 spot on the transplant list. You
get bumped to lower on the list and the liver is given to someone else.
If your health declines again to death's doorstep, you can be moved
back to the #1 spot to wait for another matching liver and hope you
survive the wait and the transplant surgery.

My brother did not survive the wait to get back into the #1 spot. Rest
in peace, Brian. We love you.

Oh Leslie, I'm so sorry for your sadness today. There just aren't words.
Take care,
Kathyl

Don't take any more. Have a retreat day. Say a few prayers, rest your
soul, hug all the loved ones (two and four legged) within reach, and
take a physical and mental day off. The troubles will still be there
tomorrow, but you'll be better able to face them.

Give Missy sloppy kisses from Frazier and soft kitty purrs from Abby.
