Thank you for putting it all together. Reading along as the last few years have unfolded, I knew the story but in patches and did not know that the transplant was so long ago. i agree with paying it forward so that another life can be saved. Besides for me, it makes a little bit of sense of the terrible agony of losing someone to injury..st least someone else gets to live.

This story is very moving.
Have you considered writing it up as non-fiction/biography?

Well that was a lucky break Pat. You did not have to make decisions. It was wonderful to have those extra years.
