On Friday I was scheduled to have an osteochondral allograft. There was an issue with the graft and it was canceled. Now I am back on the list again. I waited once for 4 months for a donor, have been battling this knee problem for nearly 3 years and I am just kind of not in a good place.
I don't know how to take all of this right now. I don't know if I can wait another 4 months and go through the process of getting ready all over again. We took a hit financially, mentally, and I'm suffering physically.
I know there are people who are having hard times too and it takes a lot for me to get to this point where I feel so out of it, but I'm kind of at a loss. I thought I was going to be on my way to recovery and now I'm just feeling like I am at a standstill.
Thanks in advance for listening to me fuss.

Hi, I'm new to the site and came across your post. I do feel for you. I don't know much about your condition but after having problems with my knee for 4 months I know how depressing it can be and you've had yours for 3 years. It must seem such a blow to be back on the list but you got close this time hopefully you'll be back there again soon. I read something the other day, 'Don't wish for things to get easier, wish for yourself to get stronger!' After going down and down recently I'm trying to read anything positive and have found some good 'inner healing' books on the market, The Power of Positive Thinking, Norman Vincent Peale is very old but amazing, and of course The Secret. Another tip is laugh, watch funny films, read funny books and be around people who uplift you. You will get there, just keep imaganing that day and it will come.
Wish you luck with everything
Jo
