Hi everyone.

On 26 June I will be celebrating one year since my transplant. Oliver, my liver, and I don’t know what to do. My 18 year old would like to mark it in some way. How would you/did you mark it. Money ok but not feeling massively flush at the moment.

Hi Isabelle

First of all - Congratulations on your upcoming 'new liver birthday'! I'm a bit of a science/human anatomy geek and really love the stuff from 'I heart guts'....there's lots of liver gifts that people can buy for you/your new liver. Here's the link:

I hope you have a fabulous celebration! I look forward to reading about it.

All the best!

Hi Isabelle2 .

I am waiting for a lung transplant and lots of people in my group have lung shaped cakes made and a party to celebrate an anniversary. 😊 I think I can do without my cake looking like an internal organ, but it's a thought.

Happy anniversary!! 👍👑🎉🎈

Hi Cas

I hope you get your transplant soon. As I said on our group, I’m having the best summer ever and it’s only mid June!

Excellent news! 👏👏👏👏😀

I just went out for a meal with family and friends and had a toast to my donor and his family I also planted a rose bush in my garden 😊

[Hidden in reply to jojokarak]

I think honouring your donor by planting a rosebush is a most wonderful selfless thing to do and a permenant reminder that because of their selflessness you are here today. May you and your rose continue to flourish🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Hear, hear!

That is such a wonderful idea. Id do that when it's my turn

[Isabelle2]

A very good idea. Plant something which lasts. I like it, thanks

Hi Isabelle,

Memories are more important than just spending I believe.

Where is your favourite place?

Maybe go there ? And remember your donor in some way?

A year... Thats fantastic. How do you feel?

Whatever you decide live life to the full

Best wishes

John
