Rejection

[LizCarpenter]

My last 3 biopsies were all 0... YEA!!
I am to have my annual biopsy Wed. the 14th...
I get scared every time I have to go in for a biopsy... I am scared that I will be in rejection? Is this normal? I pray and pray every time that Lindsay will be safe there inside my chest... but I am so scared that I will be in some kind of rejection???

I would think it's absolutely normal to have fear each time you have the biopsies done. I'll pray you get another big fat 0 under your belt!

Here is hoping for another ZERO. Prayers to lessen your fears.

Yes, it is normal to fear that you will reject. I have had 2 episodes of rejection but they bring you right out of it with med changes. Everyone says oh I bet you dread biopsies but really it is nice to know all is okay. I will keep you in my prayers. Let us know how it goes. Hoping for a 0.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement... I know that it can be fixed with meds... I have been through 2 episodes of rejection. I got a 3A twice in a row!!! I just hate being in rejection. I HATE the steriods. I get extremely puffy... moon face... and my joints ache. So I guess that is why I get so scared.
I also wanted to let everyone know that I have been released to go back to work... so I got a job working with MORA... Mississippi Ogan Recovery Agency.
I am answering phones right now but I am hoping that I can train to recover organs. It may take me some time to get started but that is what I am planning on doing.
Kadie is still waiting but as soon as she gets a heart I will post and let everyone know. She asked me the other day to excercise with her when she gets better. It did my heart good to hear that!!!

Im totally with you on being nervous for every biopsy. I have 2 more biopsys until my first annual and I am really excited. I had early rejection a few 3A's so, i know how you feel. I have had a string of 0's and 1A's for a few months now, but i still get that pit in my stomach waiting for that call. I just dont want to be readmitted into the hospital..Im thinking about you..

[LizCarpenter]

God has once again answered my prayers and gave me a zero.

Lindsay you are still safe inside... beat on sister!!!

Awesome. My husband says he wants a bumper sticker that reads "My wife is a 0" Only a certain # of people in the world would understand that for us that is the best.
