I won't sleep tonight

[granny grump]

Just had a bombshell phone call .My niece had a kidney donated by my brother her dad about 5 years ago but the kidney has been failing over the last few months and she was due to go back on dialysis. Call was to say that a pancreas and kidney had become available and she has gone into hospital and we should know something tomorow morning. I won't sleep a wink tonight

She has been through so much and had a little girl last year who is absolutely beautiful.

Best of luck to her GG. Try not to fret.♥

[granny grump]

Thank you micmak - easier said than done but I will try

[marval]

Oh, I wish her well. I am sure all will be OK.

[granny grump]

Thank you marval

[DaisyNonna]

Hope all goes well. If you can't sleep make plans for the future.

[granny grump]

Good idea Daisy thank you

[askyourgran]

All the very best gg. I hope it all works out for her.

[grasscarp]

Surely this is good news that she may receive a life line. Try to sleep tonight as feeling really over tired tomorrow will not help you at all.

[granny grump]

Thank you askyourgran - I'm going to go and clean my cupboards out to occupy my mind until I hear something - I will keep you all posted

[granny grump]

It is goodnews but also worrying and also thinking of the donor's family Thank you grasscarp

That's the spirit GG - keep busy if you won't sleep. No point lying awake and worrying. Fingers crossed that everything goes well.

Have a nice warm milk drink and a couple of Paracetamol and a hot water bottle, and go to bed, and stop worrying, she will be alright.

I do hope everything goes well for her, I'm sure it will and aren't we lucky to be living in 2012. My nephew too (46) will be having exactly the same op soon & he's so exited about it. He's had a time of it too gg. I'll include your niece in my prayers.

Oh granny, really hope all goes well!..........

[starone]

I hope it is successful. I am sure it will be. Transplants are so marvellous.

Also praying for her safe recovery - its a fantastic opportunity for her to lead a normal life, made by a very caring family in their own grief. Sweet dreams grannygrump, keep positive :)

Good luck from me too. I hope it all goes well. I find that co-codamol has a relaxing effect and helps me to sleep.

[carlton23]

Well, it`s past my bedtime, so I won`t have any problem hitting the pillow. Goodnight to all, rest well.

2 paracetemols, hot milk and a nice hot water bottle to cuddle to give you comfort. This will help you sleep.

do what carlton says re warm milk, hot water bottle etc, and take pen & paper to bed with you and write her a letter about how your feeling, how you can't sleep, how much she means to you, how you are really worried and excited etc - and you can give it to read when the time is right. it may just help you to get all your emotions down on paper and sleep will come your way.... best of luck with everything x
