Code Blue, Special Care...Code Blue, Special Care...

[ayradyss]

Ran through Triage. "Not us," nursing comments, stopping me in my tracks. "We're all CBU." Code was cancelled by the time I'd made up my mind to go down to the ICU. All in all, this has been a slow OB day

Agreed!

Which is why, in my family, anything they can get from my body (and my husband's, and my son's) they are most welcome to. And we have all discussed it and put it on our licences and let our parents know.

I feel your anger. I pray that your post might encourage someone else to donate, and that might be enough of a difference.

My heart is hammering so hard, I'm so angry...

I've had the organ donation discussion with the Monsters, and like me, they want to give the gift of life to those who need it. Gods forbid I should outlive my children, but should it come to that...they'll live on in others.

I live in fear of losing one dear to me for want of a kidney. People so selfish...I can only think that they've never had to watch someone they love waste away for want of a donated organ.

I was brought up from an early age with the idea that organ donation is what should be done.

There are times I'm incredibly thankful to have been born in a medical family. I'm debating going all the way and willing my body to the Body Farm, since I'm no longer 'young and healthy'. If they can get a few organs good out of me, more power to them, if not at least I can help forensic science out.
