Mālama i ke ola o kekahi āu e launa ʻole ai
I ka wā i loaʻa mua ai kaʻu palapala laikini, ua hauʻoli wau i ka hiki ke hoʻokele me ka ʻole o nā kapu, akā e hiki nō hoʻi iaʻu ke kau inoa i mea hāʻawi manawaleʻa. Hiki i kekahi ke lilo i mea hāʻawi, me ka nānā ʻole i ka makahiki a me ka mōʻaukala olakino, a maʻalahi maʻalahi ke kau inoa; ʻo kaʻu wale nō e hana ai i kēlā manawa ma NūIoka ka nānā ʻana i kahi pahu ma kahi palapala ma ka DMV. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hui pū me ka Donor Registry a makemake ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke kau inoa ma kāu DMV kūloko e like me aʻu i hana ai, a ma ka pūnaewele paha ma organdonor.gov, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ʻike kikoʻī no ka hui ʻana i ka papa inoa. ʻApelila ʻo ia ʻO ka mahina ola manawaleʻa aupuni, no laila he manawa maikaʻi loa kēia e hui pū ai!
He mea maʻalahi a me ka pilikino ʻole ka lilo ʻana i mea hoʻokupu, a he nui nā ala e hiki ai i kāu mau ʻōpū, nā maka, a me / a i ʻole ke kolo ke kōkua i kekahi ʻē aʻe.
Nui a hewahewa nā ala hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi manawaleʻa. Aia makana make; ʻo kēia ke hāʻawi ʻoe i kahi ʻoka a i ʻole ʻāpana o kahi ʻokena i ka manawa o kou make no ke kumu o ke transplantation i kekahi ʻē aʻe. Aia kekahi hāʻawi manawaleʻa, a aia kekahi mau ʻano: hāʻawi manawaleʻa, kahi e inoa kikoʻī ai i ke kanaka āu e hāʻawi manawaleʻa nei; a me ka hāʻawi ʻole kuhikuhi, kahi e hāʻawi manawaleʻa ai ʻoe i kekahi e pili ana i ka pono olakino.
Uhi ka Donor Registry i kēia mau ʻano makana, akā aia kekahi mau ʻano ʻē aʻe e hana ai i nā manawaleʻa ola. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi i ke koko, ka iwi iwi, a i ʻole nā koʻokoʻo koʻokoʻo, a aia nā ala maʻalahi e kau inoa e hāʻawi ai i kekahi o kēia. ʻO ke koko ka mea nui e hāʻawi manawaleʻa i kēia manawa; aia ka hemahema mau o nā hāʻawi koko, akā ʻo ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 ka mea i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Ua hoʻomaka wau e hāʻawi i ke koko i kēia makahiki i ka ʻO Vitalant wahi kokoke iaʻu. Inā hoihoi ʻoe i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke koko, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi kahi kokoke iā ʻoe e hāʻawi manawaleʻa ai ma o ka ʻO ka Red CrossʻAmelika.
Ua komo pū wau i ka E hoʻokūkū ke kākau inoa ʻana me ka manaolana e hiki iaʻu ke hāʻawi i kahi iwi iwi i kekahi e pono ai. Hoʻohui ka match i nā mea maʻi me nā maʻi ʻino e hoʻoweliweli nei i ke ola, e like me ka leukemia a me ka lymphoma, i ka momona o ka iwi a me nā mea hāʻawi koko e hiki ai ke hoʻopakele i ko lākou ola. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ke kau inoa ʻana no Be the Match ma mua o ke kau inoa ʻana no ka Regist Donor a i ʻole kahi manawaleʻa koko; Ua kau inoa wau ma komo.bethematch.org a he mau minuke wale nō ka hana. I ka manawa i loaʻa iaʻu kaʻu pahu i ka leka uila, lawe wau i koʻu mau papalina papalina a hoʻouna koke aku iā lākou. I kekahi mau pule ma hope mai, ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi leka e hōʻoia ana i nā mea āpau, a i kēia manawa he ʻāpana wau no ka Be the Match Registry!
Ua hala ka hala nā koho ʻelua; a i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka mea wale nō e kāohi ana iaʻu mai ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke koko ka makaʻu nui i ke kaʻina ponoʻī. Hiki iaʻu ke kī ʻia i kaʻu pelu flu a me nā lāʻau āpau ʻē aʻe me ka pilikia ʻole (inā ʻaʻole wau e nānā i ka nila e komo ana i loko o koʻu lima; he paʻakikī e lawe i kahi selfie ke hiki. i ka hopena loaʻa kaʻu lāʻau kō COVID-19), akā ʻo kahi mea e pili ana i ka manaʻo o ke koko e lawe ʻia i waho e kolo iaʻu a hoʻolilo iaʻu i clammy a maʻule a ke ʻole wau e moe i ka wā o ke kahakaha ʻana o ke koko, a ʻoiai hoʻi, e maule pinepine wau i ke ala aʻe ma hope o kā lākou lawe ʻana i koʻu koko. .
A laila i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi makaʻu olakino a pono wau e kiʻi i kahi biopsy iwi iwi, kahi hana ʻehaʻeha naʻu. Ua lohe wau ʻaʻole lākou ʻeha mau, akā e ʻae ʻoe iaʻu e haʻi iā ʻoe, ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi anesthesia kūloko a hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomanaʻo i ka manaʻo o ke kui kele i loko o ka hope o kuʻu iwi. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua maikaʻi wau, a ua hōʻola loa ʻia koʻu makaʻu mua i nā nila. ʻO ka hele ʻana i kēlā hana ua noʻonoʻo wau e pili ana i ka poʻe i hele i loko o kahi biopsy iwi iwi, a i ʻole mea paʻakikī, a maikaʻi ʻole. Inā paha i hāʻawi kekahi i ka iwi iwi a i ʻole ke koko.
Ke inaina nei au i ka lawe ʻana i koʻu koko, akā ʻo ka ʻike ʻana ke kōkua nei wau i kekahi mea e pono ai ka manaʻo creepy. A ʻoiai ʻaʻole he leʻaleʻa ka biopsy o koʻu iwi iwi a ʻeha loa wau a ua pilikia wau i ka hele wāwae ʻana no kekahi mau lā ma hope, ʻike wau hiki iaʻu ke hele hou ma waena inā he mea hiki ke hoʻopakele i ko haʻi ola, ʻoiai wau e mai hele a hui me lākou.
