A close-up of my knitting handiwork
The surgeon's handiwork: My 4.5" badge of honor (The mark to the right of my belly button will also scar, probably -- that's where the drainage tube was.)

In January 2006 I successfully donated half my liver to my brother, Joe. This blog began in November 2005, when I was just a hopeful donor candidate, and continues today as a vehicle for sharing my experience and building community among past, current, and would-be live organ donors and transplant recipients. Thank you for stopping by. All content on this blog, including images and text unless otherwise cited, is copyright (c) 2005-2007, Becky Waller. All rights reserved.
In 2007 I founded the Greatest Gift Foundation, which provides information and support to living organ donors throughout their transplant experience. I'm in Minneapolis, when I'm not traveling the country meeting with transplant teams. Contact us at greatestgiftfoundation@gmail.com.

Those are my sock monkey pajamas - specially chosen as a gift to myself for recovery. The camera takes away ten pounds -- unfortunately, the surgery didn't. I'm the same weight I was when I left the T.C. But sooner or later this no-beer thing has got to yield some solid results! :)
