One of the weird things that are bugging me

Ok, This just seems odd to me. I haven't mentioned that I am headed towards an organ transplant to many people...Well, except those of you reading this. Not something you just bring up at a cocktail party....LOL, maybe a good place to do so...BUT, more than once when I have mentioned it the response that I get is

CONGRATULATIONS !!

... Well, I don't know about you but it just always makes me want to whip my head around and say

HUH,? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY???

. I mean, yes, I do feel blessed that I have a chance to have a much longer life by having a transplant than without. I feel grateful that the Dr's, medicine, and the donors make it possible for me to get a new liver and I have great hope that it will save my life.

Now, having said that....after all the things I have gone through and looking forward to what it will take to make this all happen.......I am not sure that when someone says to you. *By the way, I got hit by a truck last week and I am about to have it run back and forth over me a bit before almost killing me....it is going to be a pretty bumpy ride, but the chances are good I will make through alive.*

That the comment *CONGRATULATIONS* is the appropriate sentiment.?????????????

To me you tell someone congratulations, like when the say, I just got a promotion, we are having a baby, she said *yes*.....etc.....but not when someone says *hey, I just found out they are going to rip one the most important organs in my body out and replace it with another one and hope it works.....??*

Oh, well, got that off my chest now......this is a place or my emotions as well. I need to get them off my chest somewhere so this is a good a place as any...

Till later,
Happy Nancy
