Hey people
Hope you had a nice Christmas and 2019 now approaching fast. This yeay has been very busy year for me, met some great people and great weddings and lots of things. Also important to take good care of my small amount of health left, thats right being happy and keeping strong in the mind can be challenging.
In recent months i seen alot on organ donation and how black and asians not signing up etc.. etc.. I feel sad when i see that very sad, as I am on dialysis and my only way to live longer is a new kidney ( blood group O) so in case you want to help.
I want to know all the people who are campagning, how much are signed up to become donor of orgnation when we die.? I believe we have to lead by example and then promote. I am donor myself, so i tick that box for me. Rest of you why not comment and say yes or no, its no shame to say no and no shame to say yes.
There many view on organ donation from differnet views, culture, religion. Its topic that is not really discussed in Indian household should i say, as we dont talk death. I understand why as no one wants death never, but we have to die right. even I dont want death. Every day is blessing for me when i wake up, every day is luxury for me. every day is more sad for me as well.
I do 9hrs dialysis every night and every day, no days it has to be done and lots to maintain.
what is this all this Organ donation that you herar on TV and people etc.. I know you are all busy enjoying life and only think about job and life and family etc.. Life is one busy life. we are running fast to have the big house, big cars, great status and so on . that is your right of course. lets just take one moment of a pause in the life.
I was like that until July 2016, as you can read from my other blog post. I am one of 6000 patient hoping for a organ, especially kidney , I only need 1 to give me a good chance to live with my wife and family. I also have hope to survive for my wife. I can’t bare to see my wife sad. I am 41 young guy who deserves a chance to survive people. there are many younger people with same problem need help.
Why is that we don’t sign up to be a organ donation, it will only be taken the day we die. that is the reality. I feel sometimes are mislead by our faith maybe or maybe not.
are we scared to give something away of this kind? possibly very true.
I never thought about organ donation as i felt my life was perfect and carefee in life. Then like i said july 2016 changed my life , money, status meant nothing to me. i dont even wear a watch since the day i woke up in ICU. i lost that interest only slowly i started again to enjoy things but imainly do it fo rmy wife. Going to nice places to eat , possibly if hospital allows nice holiday so she can enjoy the life she deserves.
then I realised the truth we so short of supply. my blog is not to offend anyone, but to just give a basic insight of my life on dialysis, I will be producing more information on this as time allows me.
In the year 2019 – please all of you out there i know you are generous in donating money and food and doing all kind of good deeds. I believe god sent me back from ICU to help you all preserve a future for your kids and generations to come. If we sign up now maybe in 30 or 40 years time when you no longer here, it will coem handy to the generations to come , think that way like afuture pension plan. we pay for life insurance, pension etc.. why for our family.
my only question is at this stage – if you needed a organ and you got a call its ready would you take it? i am sure yo uwould, then why not sign up to become a donor?
its a simple logic question people.
I hope i not upset anyone, I will be sending more info in my blog on lots of things. my main goal is to show the reality of a patient, i am a Patient who is on dialysis, not just a person who speaks about organ donation, I am living proof waiting for that phone call form the hospital to say we got something for you. its sitll a big risk if i take it but then it not as big risk as being on dialysis till how long ? till the clock stops.
I give you some info, my kidney works 3 or 4% percent wihtout dialysis, with dialysis now works 9% , very scary figures.
I smile everyday around me to give other people smile..
Enjoy your time off christmas and welcome new year 2019 with family or friends. Lets think of the loved ones who need that organ. lets push to help them, make it one of our goals of 2019.
Service to Humanity is service to god.
