Just when you think you have troubles!
As I blogged just prior to this entry; Ms. Duke and I spent Friday/Saturday at a hospital for a small surgery, and recovery time for her.Just when you feel for the problem of this time-taken event; you find out something I had apparently missed earlier! The wife of Captain Ed is awaiting a pancreas transplant.
Not many know what this is........
You may picture "waiting"......let me add perspective; The organ is not healthy! It needs to be replaced......you are "on a list"....
What is your number? How tough a match are you (age, blood type, and lots more qualifiers).
Capt Ed faces this with his 1st Mate, and we here hope it all resolves in a positive fashion. The GOOD news is, transplants today are wonderfully successful! The bad news, there are WAY too few donors!
Are you an organ donor? Ms. Duke and I are.....check you local laws and DO IT! Once dead, you DO NOT need your organs, etc. ONE Donor can help up to 23 people!
Duke & Ms. Duke!
