The Post Mrs Overall Had Planned.

[sunny-gness]

When MrsO received the gift of a kidney life changed dramatically for her. The kidney was a perfect match and worked straight away........she felt better than she'd done for years.....she had a new life and was loving it.

Her death was tragic......she fell and banged her head badly......the drugs she was taking to protect her new kidney caused her to bleed heavily and despite surgery to try to stop the bleeding she couldn't be saved.....

Just before she died we had a chat...full of fun, teasing and plans.
She also told me why she had asked that the thread telling us on AB that she'd had a kidney transplant should be removed.

"I want the news to come from me.......I want to tell what it's like to be living on dialysis....sometimes daily dialysis....to feel ill all the time while waiting and hoping for a transplant.....but knowing that another family will suffer if your dream comes true.
I want to be the one who tells how wonderful it is to receive a kidney.....to feel instantly well......and to pee! After years and years of waiting...to know you have a future with your family.....

I want to ask Abers to consider registering to donate organs if they haven't already......

I want it to be my words when they read about it."

I have written MrsO's words for you as best I can.......

I can't tell you how angry I am about her death......It's too hard to come to terms with and even after the beautiful service today....to believe I'll never see her again.......

MrsO wanted no flowers but asked for donations to Kidney Research. You may wish to do so in her memory.....

Much love...Gness....x

I've just seen this post and I'm so sorry to hear how Mrs O, died. It is indeed a tragedy. I've also got my donor card and have had for a good few years.

God Bless, Mrs O.

[sunny-gness]

Thanks, Chrissa....it is the tragedy of her death that I'm still struggling with... to be laughing and joking with her about how I'd cope with a fit and well MrsO....then silence followed by the phone call......x

I am saddened on my return to learn of MrsO's death.......she seemed a lovely,witty and charming lady and used to bring a smile to my face with the many great posts she put out here.....may I send my condolences to any of her family and friends and just say anyone that knew her must have been honoured to have the pleasure of her company whilst she was with us..... God bless Mrs O and rest in peace, my lovely, Love Yogi and Family xxxxxx

Madame Eau can rest assured that I am already a card-carrying scrapyard.
All parts are available.
High mileage.... but ...one careful owner.

And she had such plans for those parts, The Builder

[sunny-gness]

Ooooo, Psybo....really!....but you're right........she adored The Builder.... and his parts......☻

Yogi....witty and charming are spot on......as soon as you met her you adored her.......x

Tis a fact of life that bad things happen to good people - although I didn't 'chat' too much with Mrs O we did have some exchanges and I truly appreciated her sense of humour - such a sad thing to have happened but true to form, there are some wise cracks on this sad thread and that in itself is a great testament to Mrs O.
