So basically if I don't get an AB- liver I will have to get really sick to leap over the other blood types.

:( Hang in there. :(

Wife and I are marked as donors. Hopeful thoughts to you for finding a donor.

My Aunt lived for 25 years on a donated kidney, really let her enjoy a lot of things she would have missed, was a great gift by someone.

I heard before that when they harvest donor organs the deceased estate is stuck with the bill and insurance won't cover it. I never new if that was true or not? I always wondered about that.

Signed up when I got my motorcycle. Praying for a match for you!

Never heard that. When my mom suddenly passed we donated her corneas. No bill to her estate

I'm an organ donor, but I've had a few interesting health problems, so they might want to weary of that. I'll just donate my spleen to science or something.

good luck, Lurch. Prayers outbound.
