The day that the U of Kansas called and said they had a liver for me. Until then we hadn’t talked about a high risk liver and the liver was one of those. I asked him about it and he was very informative and answered all my questions. I knew that I was sick and I had always put my trust in my doctors for my care. So I took the chance and as it has turned out I am still alive and had I turned the liver down I would have died within a week. After transplant it was surprisingly odd that I made that decision on such short notice and all.
