Anyone whos had a transplant but is in rejection? I need to talk to someone who can understands what I'm going through!
Hi, my name is Heather Doughman and I'm 18 years old and have Cystic Fibrosis. When I was twelve, I had a double-lung transplant. Everything was great, untill two years ago, when I was diagnosed with cronic rejection. Ever since then, my life has gone downhill. I couldn't go to my last two years of highschool, and I'm still trying to catch up with all my work. I have a wheelchair because I can't walk long distances without getting very tired and I'm not aloud to go out very much. The worst thing is, all of my friends abandond me. It's like I never even existed to them. I only have one friend, but shes so busy with life out of highschool, I hardly ever see her. It's so hard on me, I don't even have my liscense because I've been so sick. I've been diagnosed as being severly depressed and it hardly ever gets better. The only joy I get out of life anymore are when I read or see my two-year old niece, and thats even hard because I get tired so fast. I don't see how I'll ever get a job, because even when college is over with the rejection will never go away and I'll be limited to what kind of job I can get. I can't even look forward to having children when I grow older, because the doctors said it would be to dangerous for me and the baby. I look around me and see how everyone else is growing and fulfilling their dreams and all I can do is watch. I sit in my room and watch them all through what seems to be a thick wall that can't be destroyed. Can someone please talk to me, I feel like I have nobody who understands and it hurts so much.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
