Heart Stopping Moment!!!

Hi all, My phone rang today, it was the Transplant co-ordinators number showing on the screen. I paused, took a deep breath and answered it, The co-ordinator asked for somebody elses name, not mine, I told her my name, she made an apology and said my number must have been put down on somebody elses name by accident and she was gone.

I think my heartbeat has only just returned to normal.

I think Its going to take a little time to get used to living on the Transplant List. He He.

They told me to keep on living a normal life, some chance of that I'm thinking.

Keep Strong everybody 'Kay Sera Sera, Whatever will be will be' my friends :)

Tony.

OMG! I would be making very sure they sort those numbers out Tony. Don't let them have something for you and be ringing someone else! Remember, God helps those who help themselves. Breathe easy. xx

Hello Dall

That was a terrible mistake to make. I know that we all make mistakes but that is dreadful. It isn't as though it's a 'run of the mill' phone call.

You must feel absolutely deflated. When the phone rang and I recognised the number I know that Iwould have thought 'OMG - it's my turn'.

I'm so sorry that you had to go through that.

Keep hoping - it will be your turn one day soon.

Kind regards and best wishes

Love Wendells xxx

As the song goes, 'Heartbeat why do you miss when my co-ordinator phones me'

What can you say, fellow sufferers, these things happen, thank god Iv'e got nerves of steel because I think I'm going to need them if this sort of thing is going to happen.

Nothings perfect in this world so why should this be any different.

Anyway its great to be able to talk about these things as they happen, It really helps to have the backing of all you wonderful people out there.

Tony. Love you all :)
