Yeej loj heev ua rau ib ob sij hawm rau ib tug neeg tau txais kev pab

Kuv kaj lias nws yog tib neeg xwm las mees lub cev thiab kev puas siab puas ntsws struggles li inconveniences. Tsis muaj leej twg xav xav tias txhua tus neeg malady yuav snowball. Ignorance yog bliss, mus txog rau thaum nws tsis yog.

Raws li peb muaj hnub nyoog ntshai builds, alongside ntau zog awareness ntawm prostate teeb meem, mob cancers, ob leeg thiab spine teeb meem, thiab versions ntawm dementia. Nyob rau hauv "nruab nrab hnub nyoog," peb pib poob neeg uas muaj ntau zaus, ces peb qhia sidestep phem los yog tsev neeg xov xwm. Ntawm tag nrho qhov no yog tias ib tug yuav tsum tau raug thawb rau ntawm ntug impairment los yog muaj mob xiam oob qhab mus nrhiav kev kho mob. Yog hais tias cov neeg mob yuav dire hauv^{no 11} teev, ces qhov rais kom zoo pib ze sai.

Kev Siv Disorder thiab Transplant

Nyob rau lub ob hlis ntuj xyoo 2019 kuv muaj uncontrolled los ntshav hauv kuv txhais ceg uas yuav tsum tau muaj 10-hnub tsev kho mob nyob. Yog thaum ntawd kuv cov ntshav chemistry nyob yuav loj nyom. Li no pib ib lub neej thiab tuag nriaj 35 xyoos nyob rau hauv qhov kev ua vim muaj kev siv disorder (SUD), nyob rau hauv kuv rooj plaub alcoholism. Alcoholic cirrhosis tau noj kuv mus rau theem kawg-theem siab tsis ua hauj lwm.

SUD yog ib biochemical, psychological, lub cev, thiab tej zaum yuav genetic disease uas nyom tag nrho koj xav. Nws yuav yog tus kab mob xwb uas nws mus convince koj tias koj tsis muaj nws. Ua rau xyoo ntawd kuv muaj hmoo kom muaj ib tug txhawb network uas sawv ntawm kuv tom qab xyoo SUD tus cwj pwm xws li shenanigans rau lub cev, lub koob npe nrov, thiab kev sib raug zoo puas. Thaum lub behest ntawm tsev neeg, kuv siv xya lub lis piam inpatient kho nyob rau lub caij ntuj sov 2019, kev kuv tseem nco ntsoov fondly. Tus lawm nug thiab tau txais kev pab kuv xav tau yog ob terrifying thiab empowering. Nws launched kuv mus rau lub sij hawm ntev sobriety kuv muaj hnub no.

Los ntawm lub caij nplooj zeeg ntawm xyoo 2019, kuv muaj dab tsi seemed zoo li yeej me me. Kuv cobbled ua ke ib SUD outpatient program nyob ze qhov chaw kho mob nyob ze thiab kuv kawm AA lub rooj sib tham, tswj kuv sobriety. Kuv twb mus ntsib kuv tus kws kho mob. Kuv tswj kuv full-time teem ua ib geology xibfwb, tab sis tsis muaj zog thiab nkees tau txais sab sauv tes. Nyob rau hauv kaum ib hlis xyoo 2019, tej yeej loj heev tau vastly overshadowed los ntawm kuv ceev declining kho mob. Kuv twb tuaj nyob hauv lub ER thiab muab tso rau tam sim ntawd transfusions thiab infusions.

Tsaug kev ntsuas txoj kev ntsuas thaum ntxov rov qab, kuv twb paub txog cov M Health-Fairview siab transplant chav tsev. Hais, rau (6) lub hlis ntawm sobriety yuav tsum tsim nyog rau kev xav txog ib lub siab transplant. Muaj 40-60% ntawm cov neeg koom hauv transplant program muaj cawv ua ib tug thawj los yog contributing factor loj cirrhosis, nws muaj nws ib txoj kev kuaj intensive screening los tsim nyog rau ib transplant. Qhov khoom plig ntawm ib lub txiv kab ntxwv donation tsis noj maj mam los ntawm tsev neeg, cov kws kho mob, los yog cov neeg tau txais kev pab thiab lawv cov neeg zov me nyuam.

Lub sij hawm ntawm kev pab kho mob uas raws li tau mind numbing. Nyob rau ib lub sij hawm cuaj hnub, kuv muaj ib tug 11-teev tseem ceeb heev thauj los ntawm MI rau Minneapolis, ib lub lis piam hauv lub tsev kho mob rau transplant screening, ib tug xa mus MI, thiab lub neej davhlau rov qab mus MN li kuv kawg yog nyob ze. Peb hnub tom qab yuav tsaws, thiab tom qab ib phais 10-teev phais uas muaj 17 chav nyob ntshav, kuv miraculously muaj ib lub siab tshiab tsaug kuv hero donor thiab nws tsev neeg, thiab cov talents ntawm ib amazing array ntawm kev kho mob.

Lub cev thiab kev puas siab puas ntsws rov qab

Kuv raug kev nyuaj los ntawm cognitive thiab lub cev impairments ob xyoos. Kuv yuav tsum tau kawm, txawm embrace, kuv vulnerabilities; muab kuv txoj kev noj qab haus huv thiab kev nyab xeeb ntawm lwm tus. Yog thaum lub Covid-19 sib txuas. Kuv tus poj niam thiab tus ntxhais tau kuv captive caregiving tuaj, uas yog ib qho nyuaj heev rau lawv. Lawv yuav tsum tau saib kuv rau tej teeb meem tom qab surgical complications thiab ua hauj lwm rau tej teeb meem collateral. Cia li kuv cov tshuaj tau 40 + ntsiav tshuaj ib hnub twg, thiab sab teebmeem tau unpredictable thiab hom. Kuv muaj peev xwm tsim ib daim ntawv ntawm nws tus kheej.

Lub sij hawm no, kuv maj mam pib txheej txheem extraordinary saw hlau ntawm txheej xwm uas rua kuv. Muaj ntau hnub ntawm lub cev mob, kev nyuaj siab, thiab survivor lub txim txhaum: dab tsi yog tsev neeg ntawm kuv tuag lawm yuav mus txog? Vim li cas kuv thiaj tau txais kuv khoom plig ntej lwm tus neeg? Kuv yuav ua li cas thiaj tau tej tus tab kaum rau lwm tus? Nyob saum toj kawg nkaus, qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb heev programming tseem ceeb heev rau kom kuv teem rau lub sij hawm ntev SUD rov qab.

Tus tos saib qhov twg kuv yuav tau txhua lub limtiam, ntau lub hlis, yog agonizing. Muaj me kauj ruam tom ntej thiab tseem ceeb setbacks. Muaj battles nrog tus cwj pwm unpredictable ntawm kuv lub nruab thoob ntiaj teb, mob tswj, ntshav chemistry, thiab khoom noj khoom haus. Kuv lub cev thiab occupational therapy yuav tsuas progress sai li sai tau thiab ua kom sib haum. Kuv kawm ntseeg, txawm embrace, cov embarrassing thiab invasive prodding, vim nws tuaj ntawm cov intimately koom tes nrog kuv wellbeing. Txhua hnub kuv hnov lub xeev uas muaj mob xiam oob qhab, kuv tus kheej txwv, thiab cov lus txiav txim stares ntawm cov neeg uas tsuas pom kuv ua ib obstacle mus obstacle.

Tom qab lub ob xyoos ib ntawm kuv transplant kuv muaj lwm kab ntawm kev kuaj uas tsom ntau tshaj ntawm kuv inherent peev xwm... muaj ib co notable sis tshaj. Tsis tau lub shortfalls tsis tshwm sim los ntawm kev puas tsuaj, tab sis li cas kuv lub hlwb processes thoob ntiaj teb nyob ib ncig ntawm kuv. Qhov no yog thaum ADHD tau muab tso rau saum rooj.

Kuv tus therapists thiab tsev neeg pib txuas cov dots. Tag nrho ib tug cia li, tus kheej medicating nrog cawv, struggles nrog xim thiab kub siab, thiab kuv dav ranging, frenetic xav pib ua kev txiav txim zoo. Ib txhia me nyuam yaus kev haum tus qauv. Qhov no tsis siab piav tej kev puas siab puas ntsws los yog lub cev kev noj qab haus huv, tiam sis tej zaum yuav muaj teebmeem ntawm tej tus undercurrent txij thaum yau tau ib epiphany. Lub sij hawm cataclysmic ntawm kuv lub neej ua rau ib empowering revelation! Qhov no reinforced qhov xav tau kev puas siab puas ntsws khiav cais los ntawm tiam sis hais txog kuv SUD.

Cov Stigma ntawm tej yam kev siv disorder thaum rov qab

Kuv tseem figuring tawm lub ADHD ib feem ntawm kuv cov lus. Soj ntsuam nrog rau tag nrho, traumatic teebmeem ntawm cov lus no ua counseling mandatory. Nws yog zoo tham rau cov neeg uas yuav qhia rau koj tias koj tsis vwm, koj yuav txheej txheem koj mob, thiab tias kev sib haum xeeb yog qhov nqi zog rau honesty thiab humility. Kuv mus sij hawm ntev SUD rov qab yuav tsis xaus, tab sis hais tias ib feem ntawm cov lus tam sim no los nrog theem ntawm nws tus kheej awareness thiab discovery uas yog emboldening!

Tom qab transplant lub stigma narrative tseem. Thaum kev kawm ntawm kuv transplant vim alcoholic cirrhosis kuv muaj ntau tus neeg, xws li cov kws kho mob, blurt tawm "Wow, thiab lawv muab koj ib?" Lo lus nug no kis tau txiav txim tsis muaj ntaub ntawv, bypasses compassion, thiab devalues thiab dehumanizes tus neeg. Cov neeg uas muaj genetic (tsis substance hais txog) siab defects feem ntau yuav raug no tib yam txiav txim, tsis ncaj ncees questioning lawv yav tas los thiab worthiness. Cov neeg poob pom cov Disease fact tias peb yog cov txij nkawm, cov niam txiv, cov kwvtij, cov neeg zov me nyuam, cov neeg ua hauj lwm, bosses, mentors thiab cov phooj ywg.

Kuv sim siv cov instances li qhia moments. Kuv muab kev txhawb rau kev nkag siab txog SUD ua ib tug kab mob thiab cov rigorous txheej txheem kom tsim nyog rau ib lub txiv kab ntxwv transplant. Vim kuv tam sim no professional cwj pwm, kuv kuj txheeb xyuas qhov zoo tshaj plaws, compassionate zov rau cov amid ib tortuous lus rau cov lus zoo.

Lub neej tom qab Transplant

Li no kuv yog 43 lub hlis tom qab transplant. Kuv tseem muaj nkees heev thiab stamina teeb meem, ob lub cev thiab kev puas siab puas ntsws, thiab tej zaum mob plab. Muaj ntau hnub uas kuv xav tias kuv lub paj hlwb acuity yog cia, seb vim fatigue los yog vestiges ntawm cognitive skips. Kuv tsuas yuav tsum muaj awareness ntawm li cas cov cuam tshuam kev thauj cuam tshuam dab tsi rau kuv, ob leeg los ntawm kev ruaj ntseg thiab kev puas siab puas ntsws. Kuv cia siab hnyav ncawv rau kuv tsev neeg thiab cov phooj ywg alert kuv rau teeb meem uas kuv yuav tsis npaj qhia kuv tus kheej. Kuv yuav honestly hais tias kuv yog ntawm tus txheeb ze ease nrog kuv vulnerabilities, raws li uas awareness los nrog lub zog thiab liberation.

Nws yog cov tshuaj immunosuppressant tshuaj uas kom kuv lub nruab nrog cev tsis muaj zog, pab tiv thaiv kab mob organ rejection. Kuv yuav tsum tau noj cov sij hawm txhua hnub rau lub neej. Kuv kuj yuav tsum tau acutely paub txog tej yam uas yuav muab kuv nyob rau hauv jeopardy. Kuv tsis txhob noj cov zaub mov uas muaj ntau dua rau cov zaub mov-borne (sushi, tsis tshua muaj los yog uncured nqaij), thiab zoo saib cov zaub mov kev pab tu cev. Kuv yuav tsum tsis txhob muab cov pas dej tshiab thiab pas dej uas cov kab mob thiab cov cab no tej zaum yuav lurk. Txawm tias tej qhov nqaij ntuag me thiab bruises yuav tsum tau saib zoo zoo. Kuv ib txwm mus nrog cov tshuaj ntxuav tes, ntxuav cov qhov ncauj qhov ntswg, thiab yooj yim pab khoom siv.

Tsis tau nrog kev puas siab puas ntsws, logistical, thiab txoj kev ua neej kho, qhov no yog tag nrho deb ntawm limiting. Tsuas reflecting ib tus ntxhov mortality yog txaus los tsim gratitude npe rau txhua hnub ntev! Kuv xav tias energized los ntawm qhov kuv tseem tabtom kawm thiab kho li cas kuv twb tau overcome. Qhov no yog qhov twg cov transplant thiab SUD rov qab voj voog rov qab mus rau qhov chaw nyob kev puas siab puas ntsws.

Kuv cov lus no tseem nyob rau hauv kev kawm, thiab kuv vam tias muaj ntau tshooj tshooj nyob rau hauv kuv zaj dabneeg. Thaum yuav undoubtedly yuav countless ntxiv txoj kev sib tw, kuv lub hom phiaj kawg yog yooj yim: yuav tus authentic, resilient, zoo version ntawm kuv tus kheej uas kuv yuav tau. Kuv paub tias lub hom phiaj no yog ib txwm pom yog hais tias kuv ua raws li ib tug guiding txhooj: ntseeg kuv cov lus.
