It has been an awful day today not only am I feeling incredibly low in my self because my fistula appears to be swollen and is incredibly sore. They have sent some blood tests away to make sure there is no infection there. I can only hope that everything comes back clear as that vein is literally and figuratively my life line. Without that would have to have a Hickman line inserted into my shoulder (which make you susceptible to infections). Then s telephone call came through to the office in Museum Place (the Kidney Wales Foundation Offices) to say that some brainless moron had vandalized the Donor Stone. I felt physically sick to think that some idiot had taken it upon them selves to desecrate the memory and love from all those people and families that the stone is dedicated too. I can not print what I think of people who do things like that. It is senseless. It was even more insulting because they couldn't even be bothered to be imaginative or literate! How would they like people to go into their homes and damage their belongings or to ruin something they had worked hard to achieve was so callously damaged. I can only hope that the graffiti can be removed and that people can eradicate it from their memories and only see the good the Stone has achieved.
There was a programme on tonight about a man from Porthcawl going to the Philippines to buy a kidney. He commented that he doesn't think people can make a moral judgement if they haven't been in his situation. Well I am in the situation and I can make a moral judgement and if he values the lives of other human beings that little that he is willing to risk not only their life but his own and he can look at himself in the mirror afterwards then so be it. Having said that I still do not think it is right what he is doing. As I have said many times, this is only my opinion and people are welcome to answer me and discuss this.
