Greetings from San Diego....but NOT from a lady in good spirits!!!!!!

Hi'ya,
Well, as I said the other day, my transplant was cancelled.
Not rescheduled.
Not postponed.
Just...CANCELLED.
Da-YAM!!!!!!!
I could just do something drastic.
I'm very glad that I took this vacation when I did, because to be honest, I'm getting more than a little fed up with the way things are going back in Cleveland. It's NOT easy living in such a remarkably small house with two people who not only don't know as much as you do, but with whom you disagree on most issues!! I feel very out of place there, and not only that, but I also feel too oversheltered and too overprotected--and did I mention, I'll be 40 next year...
It's just not where I feel like I want to be anymore.
I'm very, very glad that my three cats have a safe and comfortable home there...
But, I'm honestly wishing that I never left San Diego!!! I honestly wish I didn't have to leave here (possibly on the 19th, possibly after that, since I don't have a transplant to rush back for!).
I honestly wish I could weasel my way back into living here permanently.
Consider this.
I've been through infection after infection. Twice, I almost died. And I even had to have emergency surgery last Mother's Day, to repair my stomach due to a perforated ulcer. Did the most dramatic of health issues happen here???? NO!!! They happened when I was stuck in Cleveland, with no invitation to get the hell out!!!!!!
Well, now, I'm rambling...but, the main thing is, I'm back to waiting....and waiting....and waiting...
So, this blog is once again for seeing if maybe I can network a little and find a living kidney donor that can actually BE my donor!!!!! Type A or Type O blood....can be in Cleveland, Ohio or San Diego, CA, because quite honestly, I don't really care. I plan to visit here FREQUENTLY, so I'm VERY open to receiving my transplant in California (I leave myself open to the whole state!!!!!!).
And, of course, for what it's worth, I just wanted to say, being in San Diego at the moment--just as at most other moments in my life--is just what the doctor ordered!!!!
You--take care!!
Da-YAM!!!! I feel like one of my only reasons for living (the thought that I might actually get a transplant before my birthday--June 16th) has been taken away from me!!!!! I am soooooo definitely considering just going to the roof of the Kaiser building (assuming I return to Cleveland as originally planned) and jumping off.
Well...I've gotta get going and see what I can do around here that's productive...YES, here, I am actually ALLOWED to do things that'll keep me productive--which is why I haven't been online much this week. Just thought I'd mention that for clarity.
Ta-ta for now!!!! Oh, and if you did stop to read this, I love you!!!!!! I'll be back later this week with new pictures!!!! :-)
