Was it one of the organs donated in
Adelaide that was televised with the mad dash of organs to
Sydney??
Hope that you have a long life with your donated organ, it good to hear that someone's family carried out the wishes of the donor. I'll donate all my organs if and when the time comes, and all my family know my intensions.
Good luck
Kev

Boy will Mark want to talk to you! ( ok and me to!) He has FSGS/Nephrotic syndrome.
Mark is at end stage renal failure now, (He is 35) dialysis (don't know which one yet) and transplant are not far away. (ok well the transplant itself might be because of availability)
We gotta talk!
