I am an organ recipient. I received my liver in 1993 when I was 20. I was driven, focused and had many difficult career goals for myself. I had even overcome a serious eating disorder in the previous 10 years. But nothing threw a wrench in my life as did the new liver, my new life.
I am utterly grateful for my chance to live on borrowed time, however, the path is now without heartache, pain, discouragement and many unforseeable barriers. Since my transplant, I have received a BS and MS in Chemistry, and teach at the community colleges where I live. It is not the life I expected, but it is a great life. I appreciate peace, kindness, favors and the unique conditions we all face more than I ever would have previously.
