I should have remembered that.
Those sedatives are getting me a bit confused.
No matter, they did promise me the best steak I'd ever had afterwards.
Earlier, I heard a noise.
A thin sound, along with a wobble that told me a gurney was coming down the hallway.
It entered a room and the door closed.
A new arrival, I assumed.
It gave me a lighthearted feeling, knowing in a short time someone else in the world would gain a new lease on life, or at least a better existence.
When the door opened and the gurney re-emerged, banging against something, I wondered what this new arrival was giving up.
Kidneys are nice since the one left can function just fine.
But maybe this person is giving up a portion of his or her liver or even segments of a lung, pancreas, or intestine.
Maybe it's just tissues like skin, bone marrow, and possibly blood-forming cells.
I enjoyed running down the list, marveling at what science can do.
In my mind, the list grew longer, adding heart valves, bone, veins, and tendons.
Unfortunately, the big ones, complete ones, like the heart, lungs, pancreas, everything, I guess need to be done after you're dead.
Those are already in my will.
As I thought about this, I decided it would be nice to talk with this new patient.
Anyone coming here to donate a part of themselves that others might live or live better is a top-notch human in my book.
I waited, hoping a nurse would pass by so I could ask who came in.
The hallway remained quiet, however, so I decided I'd meet the person and slipped out of bed.
