Hi Dennis,

I had a kidney transplant just over a year ago and prior to the transplant, my was in extreme mental and physical pain. Although I have a fairly big family, nobody ever contacted me to see how I was. My husband couldn't understand it, so I isolated myself and went into a deep depression, similar to the one you are experiencing. I never felt so alone and desperate and I can understand what you are experiencing. Nobody understands the pain and anguish a person goes through with this type of surgery. I got to the point where I completely lost my faith in God, and I didn't know whether I would survive the surgery. Then, I realized all sorts of people praying for me. People I didn't even know were praying for me - through this site, and through other websites and support groups. It encouraged me to be strong and that's what got me through the surgery. Just realize that you have all sorts of people who will be praying for you tomorrow. There are many people who care. Stay positive and be strong. Have faith.

Dennis,

I am so sorry you are having to deal with so much pain. You are very strong to face these physical challenges and I am sure it is really hard and a full time job just to get to all the treatments and appointments. I am praying hard for you that the surgery goes well. You are not alone. I really care, so many people here care for you. Please keep us posted when you are able.
You are not just a body, you are a true and wonderful soul, the real you is inside and is precious and loved.
