If you haven't seen the movie, "Seven Pounds," I'd highly recommend it. It's amazing how you can save someone's life by becoming a donor:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814314/

In the case of donating part of your liver (which regenerates), you'd be doing something low-risk (the person on the receiving end takes all the risk) and you'd literally save someone's life (mine, in this case). It makes a big difference between getting on a waiting list and bringing in your own donor.

I watched "Seven Pounds" on a plane somewhere when it first came out, it's an absolutely amazing movie, very thought-provoking, and I felt that the way in which it reworked old literary themes: "fate" in the form of accidents, redemption, atonement, love, how far you would go for someone you truly love, was nothing short of brilliant. Last summer I watched it again with my daughter and immediately thought of you, Mary. The desperate need of someone you know/love for an organ makes you think in very surreal ways: I was driving home tonight and heard on the radio that the designer Alexander Mc Queen was today found dead and that the cause of death seems to be suicide. My immediate thought in a sort of surreal and detached way was "40 years old! Fuck! He could have at least donated his organs first, what a terrible waste". I know, it's an awful way of thinking, but there you go....And of course I feel deeply sorry for him and his loved ones....but that thought came only second.

A lot of potential new openings have sprung up for you since you went 'public' with this, and no doubt there will be more. On the law of averages, one of them will surely work out. Things certainly aren't as bleak as they seemed a month ago.

Thanks, Gazz. I'm trying to keep my spirits up, but it ain't easy. You and LJ have kept me going too.
Don't know what I'd do without you.

I've asked Gazza to move the Brian, Superblow and Bit Torrent threads back up here. I felt kind of bad that they'd been moved to the "regular" area because I know they mean a lot to other board members, and I didn't want to monopolize the "important" topics at their expense.

I know Gazza and Voodoo only had my best interests at heart, and I'll always be grateful to them for giving my thread so much attention. You'll forever have a special place in my heart - but you already knew that.

There are 'important' threads, and then there are 'important' threads, and this is THE most important thread ever on this site IMO. The only way we want this to fall off the front page is when the volume of posts which have been congratulating you on your successful transplant start to wane.

Keep your spirits up, although I know its not easy. Things are less bleak than a month ago when you went public with your situation, but we won't (and can't) get complacent about this. The more people who can make a contribution or come up with an idea, then the more likely there will be an opening for you.
