@gerryp whaf a great story and I really like the Relay analogy. Congratulations! We have a lot in common in our approach of appreciating each day and our interest in helping spread the word on organ donation too.
Mayo did a story on me and I’m sharing the link. There are some similar questions I asked after my transplant too.

Thanks Jackie. What an incredible story you have! I have met several transplant patients that lived their lives under a cloud of underlying chronic medical issues, and have been amazed by their attitude and perseverance. My liver damage was acute and the result of septic shock. So I was not prepared for what was to come. Thank you for being a benefactor to Mayo and helping to support the amazing work they do. May you have many more years of good health. Gerry

Hi Jackie, I read your story and what a wonderful testimony. Reminds me too how lucky I felt after the pacemaker came out. I had gotten to the point that I had been shocked so much I had a form of ptsd so now 5 years later I feel so blessed to have received this beautiful gift. I am a bit jealous tho and all the places you have been. I saw a couple with the military but not as many as you. But I'm still hoping to in the future.
