Eda's story
I cannot find the words to thank the family and the donor of my liver - who is now resting in peace.
I was put on the transplant waiting list two days after my wedding. I was not allowed to go on a honeymoon because I was so sick. I can't look at my wedding photos now.
I was told they had a liver for me and that I would go into surgery for a couple of hours. I was shocked, surprised and scared ... but happy. So many mixed emotions running around.
After waiting for 14 months, constantly being hospitalised, I am back to life. I enjoy every minute of life and it felt like I was born again when I opened my eyes after the surgery.
May the person who donated their organs rest in peace.
I wouldn't be here now if you didn't consider organ donation. I can't thank you and your family enough. Sad to know such a good and thoughtful person is not here anymore. My thoughts are with you.
