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.

Check it out...last night on FOX's "House" there was another living donor liver donation. Time yet for you to get TIVO?

Apparently, my brother's and my saga has sparked a plot revolution among medicine shows. ER and Gray's Anatomy are sure to follow. And perhaps Freddie. Stay tuned, viewers!

If Freddie needs an organ, I'm willing to donate...specifically, if he'd like my tongue in his mouth... Wait, is the tongue an organ? Whatever. I think you get what I'm trying to say.

Correct Becky.
In fact, the momentum is so strong that the Los Angeles Times just this morning reported that famed TV doctors Frasier Crane, Bob Hartley, Joyce Brothers, Phil McGraw, and Jason Seaver have signed on to star in a big-screen adaptation of the popular TV series "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman" where they begin to perform the old west's first combination colectomy and artificial heart implantation, only to remember halfway through that they are all actually psychiatric practitioners.
And from there, of course, hilarity ensues!
