Thank you for this reply and for explaining the process. I am envious of your very positive experience as I wonder all the time about my donor. This may sound silly but I talk to my liver and pat myself as I do so. I am very aware that there is now another part of me and a part which is the reason I live. It feels good to talk.

@wildcat I talk to my liver too. Promise to keep it safe and healthy. I make this promise to my donor too. I haven't written to my donor's family yet but am slowly constructing what I'll say in my head. I don't know if the donor was male/female, young/older or where they came from. I wanted to give the family grieving time first.

@wildcat I didn't realize until I read your post that I also touch and talk to my pancreas. I also am very aware that I have part of someone else inside of me, as well as some titanium, mesh, screws, etc.
