Good luck.

Sorry to hear this.
If it's just a kidney transplant you'll be having, you should survive just fine. Yes, it sucks, but at least you should be all right.
In times like this, the one thing that may help you over it are friends. Your family doesn't seem to be an option, but do you have some friends you can turn to? If your medical condition allows it, go out and have some fun with them. At the very least it'll keep your mind away from your problems for a while.

I've stayed out of this thread so far, because I didn't have anything worth saying. I still don't, but at least I can wish you well. From what others have said, you should be alright in the long run.

Good luck mate, Much Clown Love out to ya.

It's moments like these that remind me how much of my time I spend trying to scramble my way up the sides of life. How much time I spend worrying about how I'm viewed, what I do, how I do it. Somehow we build lives up that do nothing but distract us from the main point. Sometimes I forget I exist. Sometimes I even forget what that means. Moments like these remind me that to exist is something much more than pleasure. It's something much more than pain. It's something else... I just don't know what to call it.

Stay positive and never give in.....I hope everything turns out well for you http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

I delayed posting due to the fact that I have never been in a position like this, and as such anything I would say would come across as condescendingly trite. I can only echo the sentiments of the others in wishing you health and peace.

You are in a bind healthwise certainly and you are also at a crossroad in your life. You are now in college wondering what to study. What major to take up. Add this to what is already on your mind and yes...seems like a very crappy hand to play. But, as many have already posted here, your youth is on your side. Kidney transplant at your current age is very promising. Just keep on getting up Red and don't let it get you down. Follow what you doctors say to the letter concerning your kidney problem.

Also my best wishes from here!
All I can say is: put up a good fight and don't give up! It's amazing how much a strong mind is able to cope with.
