I myself have been undergoing tests and even a brief hospital stay (sedation and more tests) for something that's wrong with me and I know how skittish I've been through all of this. I'm glad to hear your family and friends are supporting you throught it all!

I'm glad you're ok, and I hope you make a complete recovery where you are back to your original condition. :thumbup:
Unfortunately the donor was a 19 year young man whose heart stopped, I recieved his liver, other people have also been given a second chance at life because of his other organs. Someone even has the chance to see now because of his and his family's generousity with these gifts of life. This action on his part at 19 took a lot of foresight, a young man thinking not just of himself.
People are put on waiting lists for organ transplants. I was very fortunate that he and I shared the same blood type. I am in a 2-4% blood group being AB+. They make their determination as to who gets an organ as to how sick you are at the time of the availability of an organ. The size and everything has to match as well.
Thanks for the well wishes.
