hugs a terrible position to be in - I am on the other side waiting for the call for a new kidney.

Thanks for sharing that cbennett, and good luck to you walshemj.
I lost one of my closest friends a few years ago to an accident but was heartened to know that his organs went on to help others.
Watching her wheeled out of that hospital room heart still beating was certainly the hardest moment of my life so far. We never saw the actual 'plug' pulled and i actually prefer(red) it that way.
I deeply empathize that the decision was all on you. doing it collectively was a hair easier. hope your emotional/personal recovery has been as swift as possible.
