Darryl Nelson was sent to Mogadishu, Somalia, after being stationed
stateside with the Army's 101st airborne division as a maintenance
platoon leader. He experienced strange dreams and nightmares, and
in 1993, after surviving attacks in Mogadishu, he was diagnosed
with kidney failure.
The next year, Nelson was forced to retire from active duty and
was flown out of Somalia to receive medical care at the Walter Reed
Army Medical Center. He had more encounters with dreams and
nightmares. While receiving dialysis treatment, he was diagnosed
with cancer. His kidneys were surgically removed and unfortunately,
his twin brother was not a match for transplant surgery.
Nelson was put on a transplant list but was told he would have
to wait two years for the procedure. More than two years later, he
still waits for transplant surgery, but he remains upbeat and
hopeful. Friends and relatives have come to know what answer to
expect when they ask Nelson how he's feeling. He'll tell you, ""I'm
feeling fine."" Nelson provides inspiration for others living with
kidney disease and helps raise the awareness of close friends and
family on the loss of an organ.
