I had an appointment with my original nephrologist this morning. He walked in and gave me the biggest hug. He was so happy I got my transplant and that I was doing so good. I told him about my beautiful Earth Angel & showing pictures. He told me I should stop by to see Ms Phyliss who was my home dialysis coordinator, she would be glad to see me. I wasn't going to go but decided to since it was only 8 mins away. I pull in the parking lot and guess who was at their car, Ms Phyliss. I let my window down and said , "you're exactly who I need to see." She's looking trying to figure out who I was and yelled KRISTY!! She gave me the biggest hug and said OMG, girl you look good. Mind y'all, I was a mess the last time she saw me. I literally cried for 2 weeks straight when I started dialysis. I was defeated mentally, emotionally, spiritually & physically. She saw me at the worse time of my life but she was so patient & supportive. I also told her about Clay, she raised her hands and said THANK YOU GOD!! She asked about my Mom, I told her the unfortunate news, she hugged me and said I can't imagine how you feel because I know that was your rider. I gave her another hug and left. It was so good to see both of them who was at the beginning of my journey to now 7 years later, new kidney and doing much better.💚💚
