I must say that, barring the fact that I wish it were not you with this terrible health problem, I find this post fascinating, compelling, and enlightening.

Raye,
Thanks for reading my post. I was an avid Blogit writer a few years ago. I am back I stopped to engage in family issues. I have been through emotional situations and am licensed to deal with them for others. My challenge has been dealing with them to keep them from dealing with me! 
Long story short, hang in there! This is a good forum to vent. Person around often cannot get in tune to another's emotion for they have too many themselves to understand the issues of another.
I truly understand.

Re: Hi Dear Raye!
Dear Sunny,
Thank you so much for your wise insight. 
I also believe a strand or portion of life energy unique to the donor is transplanted along with the organ. Will be a most fascinating experience.

Hi Dear Raye!
I would think that some type of "bond" as you say would be possible.
We are all made of of energy, and naturally, you would be taking some of that person's energy into your own.
I think nothing really is impossible.. even self healing... so keep that in mind, and keep your positive attitude. It sounds like you are coping very well.. much better than many in your situation, I would think.

That is exciting news for you! I can appreciate the apprehension but just trust that it is all going to be okay in the end and you can get through it all a bit easier! I know it's easier said than done but just stay strong and know it's a marathon of a sort, too! sam

Re: I know someone who had a double lung transplant
Thank you for sharing, Jeff. If one is still fairly young and in decent health other than their lung disease, then good outcomes are the norm. So far, I am in that category. It's the frequency of chronic rejection in lung transplants that makes the statistics look rather grim - less than 50% survive after 5 years - this is the official statement but as I'm learning and seeing, there are so many variables affecting those numbers. I know of more people who are in their tenth year and beyond, no problems whatsoever than I do of people passing away at the five year mark. Quite a few more. And advances in treating rejection (lung transplants have the most life threatening possibilities when rejection occurs as compared to other transplants) have really moved forward lately. So hopefully rejection will not be so dire a consequence for myself and others.
Best of Health and Breathing to your friend!

Very true, Dear Kabu. Thank you for the prayers; I am looking forward to the day when I can once again run, climb and dance without gasping.

my mind from the donor......I am quite sure that there is something in the cells that is connected...our ...soul lives within all of us,,,our family DNA Genetic pool our soul what does science know of how these affect who we are.
