My Donor

My third blog is dedicated to my donor, to God and for the doctors who saved my life. it also makes me ponder and reflect about all of the less unfortunate that are on a donors list specifically liver donors and they’re not able to be as lucky as I am. not a day goes by where I don’t reflect on this. I think of all the people waiting on the list who are sick and in need of a liver.  I myself went into the hospital in New York Presbyterian July 3, 2020 and July 23, 2020. I received a full liver transplant from a Doctor Who had a heart attack and passed away at 51 years old from Long Island New York. he was a perfect match for me.  while I was elated I was also very sad thinking about how quickly and fortunate God blessed me to get a liver so quickly and have a second chance at life while others are on the list for years and aren’t as fortunate. I’ve read about people passing who did not receive a liver on time and it makes me extremely sad and I’m sorry for all of them. it makes me also wonder how the doctors with their committee vote on this sit around a roundtable discussing my case and actually making me jump ahead of them. did I deserve it ? am I better than them? we are all human beings we’re all the same. it really makes me sad and at the same time I have so much more so much to give now in life. I have such a purpose. I will never stop giving giving back. whether it’s through help with organ organizations however way I can whatever way I can help I want to do so and I will do most importantly is to never do what I did ruin my liver through drinking keep sobriety close in my life going to AA I attend four zoom meetings a week and four in person meetings a week. and I’ll never stop attending. I need it because I can never ruin the second chance at life. I don’t know if I’m doing a good job with this blog but I’m just talking and writing straight from my heart my heart is doing the talking with my blog. mistakes that I’ve made I learned from and I’ll never do it again. I won’t do it to my self, my donor. I owe it to all those other people that didn’t receive a liver in time. I owe it to a lot of people not just myself and I just wanted to write this blog to follow up on my last blog. thank you for listening. thank you for reading this. I’m gonna continue to document my journey. thank you kindly
