this is a pic of me and andy nowfirst few days at home was hetic everyone came to see andy ,he was ok for about a week or so then he got a water infection but soon cleared up ,,one day he said to me i wonder whos kidney and pancreas iv got ,andy started to get down and a bit depressed he siad i dont deserve this transplant if i had looked after myself i might not of been in this situation ,so i told him to talk to a doctor about his feelings ,although we talked i didnt have all the answers ,so andy did talk to a doctor, the doctor told him some patients do feel like he does and he will be ok and gave him antidepressant tablets,a few weeks later andy decided that he wanted to no about the donor,he did find some things out but no names was given all i can tell you is this person had a long term illness and was aware that he was going to give people the gift of life,it did make andy feel better knowing that this man helped not just only him but others too,andy had to attend follow up appointment at the kings collage hospital which was a long way from home ,,i remember walking to the train station we got about ten minuets down the road and andy had to stop he couldnt breath properly so we slowly walked back home and i phoned a doctor out ,andy had a bad cheast infection but the doctor sent him into hospital for test ,every time andy was ill he used to test his blood sugar levels even though they were ok he couldnt get over not being a diabetic ,he could eat anything he wanted but was still carefull he did get better and stronger for a while then he he started getting infection after infection in and out of hospital very deprressed and then we split up i couldnt cope with his illness and depression ,andy left me and went to live with his parents up north ,we split on bad terms and after a while i missed him so much and relised how much i loved him so me and the kids moved up north to be with him it was a big move for all ,and it did change our lives ,,but then after andy started to loose his eyesight it was very bad ,he kept bursting blood vessels in his eyes ,he had lots of lazor treatment and cataracts ,we can laugh about things now what andy done when he couldnt see anythingbut it wasnt funny at the time,i wouldnt of coped if it wasnt for andys mum and dad who lived ten mins from us ,im stopping ,your right lisa i could of wrote a novel,x
