LOVE PLANT

“So what’s planned for Saturday night?” my mum asks me.
I just inform her that I have been really wanting to try this pizza place and that my brother and his girlfriend always go too. I have been texting my dad to organise it with them.
My mum and I’s coffee come and we drink it. Then a loud vibrating sound on the table it was my phone and caller ID has my dad on it. I take the phone outside and answer it.
“Dad are you sure, you better be not lying to me?” I say between my sobs I literally cannot try my crying right now and I don’t care if people can see me.

In the car with my dad silence you can hear a pin drop.
“Are you ready.” My dad says
“I’ve been ready for so long you have no idea.” I say so happily back
The phone call earlier, the day has arrived they have finally found a match I am getting a new chance of life. I am in the car with my dad now on the way to the hospital in a matter of short hours I will be having my kidney transplant. Words cannot describe how I am feeling at first when dad told me on the phone it was happening I was bit afraid of having such a massive but no I am doing this I have been waiting what feels like forever.
“How about we put it on for old times sake.” My dad says.
He puts the cd on – one direction cd four. I start singing with happiness and my dad is just bobbing along acting like he knows the words. Ever since I started my treatment at the hospital on the way to the hospital in the car we would listen to one direction cd. I know, I know them personally and I am nineteen now and still jamming to their tunes. Night changes is playing ‘but there’s nothing to be afraid of, even when the night changes’. I sing at the top of my lungs, this song is so true of what I am feeling right now my life is now going to change and there is nothing to be afraid of.


My eyes are fluttering I have a dry mouth and need water. I wake up and my whole family is there my brother, girlfriend, mum, dad, aunty and grandma. My mum helps me to sip my water and the slowly after that I am off to sleep again.
“Sorry sweetie,” the nurse says. I turn around and she is putting the blood pressure cuff on me. I give her a simple smile.
It has been about twelve hours since I’ve had my transplant and the long road to recovery begins today. I got out of my bed to get weighed in the chair, which was placed right next to my bed. Yes I just had major surgery and I am out of bed but I am the kind of girl who rips the band -aid straight off.

2 weeks later:
I am at home recovering. I go in for my check ups every second day at hospital now just to check everything is ok. I have spoken to Niall and no I haven’t told him yet. They have just finished their tour and they need some serious relaxing time. I am slowly getting my strength and energy back. When you have such a huge operation like a transplant you have to be really important to not do too much and just take it easy.
