My parents were loving and supportive but they could not wrap their minds around what I was telling them. My two older sisters did not want to know about anything that could freak me out like this. I am known by my family members as being quite brave. I am also the only one in my family that is interested in these topics. It scares the rest of them.
My emotional ,mental and spiritual being was in BIG trouble. My physical body appeared at first to be OK but that was not the case. I had a kidney/pancreas transplant back in July of 1997. I did not know but this was the start of a chronic rejection of the organs. What that means is that my body was slowly attacking my transplanted organs.
I could go into a lot of detail but I won't. It took about five months of very uncomfortable ,fearful and sometimes insane moments for my emotional well being to resemble anything normal.
It took a couple of months for my body to stop attacking my organs. That required a hospital stay and some outpatient treatments. I just saw my doctor today.Even though my creatinine level(a measure of kidney function) is higher then when this all started, it is finally stable.
This is a very short version of my story. If anyone is interested I did make another trip to my hometown. This time I brought a friend. She is a healer and psychologist and teaches yoga.She has trained in all different parts of the world. She was the perfect person to bring with me for trip number two.By the time we made it over there Dr"X" had already passed away. We missed his funeral by one day.
