If the receiving state has denied acceptance of your husband, you are out of luck.  \n\nHis best bet would be to enter rehab and get clean, and then try for a transfer in a year.

In the UK if your taking insulin, then you will not be able to give blood. This restriction is because concern about the health of the blood donors, \n\nIn the US To give blood for transfusion to another person, you must be healthy, be at least 17 years old or 16 years old if allowed by state law, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have donated blood in the last 8 weeks (56 days). "Healthy" means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control. \n\nInsulin\nThose who since 1980, received an injection of bovine (beef) insulin made from cattle from the United Kingdom are not eligible to donate. This requirement is related to concerns about variant CJD, or 'mad cow' disease. Learn more about variant CJD and blood donation.

Get an organ donor card from any hospital or health centre.\n\nOtherwise I don't think there is anywhere in the UK where living people can donate their livers.

When my brother passed away in a motorcycle accident we had his organs donated.  They do not keep your body in a locker, the organs have to basically be fresh and alive so your body is kept alive on a life support machine.  Once the organs are removed, (his heart and liver) they are put on ice and flown by helicopter to a patient waiting in the surgery room for the donated organ.  This is all organized very quickly so the recipient of the organ is notified and sent immediately to the hospital for transplant surgery.   They can only take from a body what you or your family allow.  Some people donate their whole body to medical schools and forensic studies.  It was a great feeling to know that someone lived their life with the help of my brothers organs.  We never found out who recieved them but it would have been nice to meet them.  \n\nIf you want to research this further go to your search bar and type in Organ and Tissue Donation Programs and read the listed sites.  I hope this helped answer your question - I hope other people learn from this and make a wise choice in their life.  Once you are gone you might as well share what is left to benefit someone else in need.

Perhaps you are just suffering from jaundice.  You need to go through certain tests to be sure\n\nSome signs of liver damage are: \nfeeling tired or weak \nlosing your appetite \nfeeling sick to your stomach \nlosing weight \nbruising or bleeding easily, such as nosebleeds \nbloating due to fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites*) \ndeclining mental functions \nAlso, signs of liver damage include: skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow, a condition called jaundice, and may cause swelling in the legs and the abdomen. You cannot live without a liver that works. If your liver fails, your doctor may put you on a waiting list for a liver transplant.   {Though this doesnt seem to be the case with you}\n\nTherefore, Notify your doctor immediately if you develop any of the following signs of liver damage: \nnausea \nvomiting \nabdominal pain \nunusual fatigue \nloss of appetite \nyellow skin or eyes \nitching \nclay-colored stools, or \ndark urine \n.

Unfortunately, liver is very, very rarely cooked properly.\nThe day you have proper liver, you won't complain.

There are too few transplantable hearts to waste them on people with a death wish, but it is not my decision.  My driver's license states that I am an organ donor, but there was no check-off box that said "Do not give my organs to a smoker."  Life is not fair, and people are worse.

Yes, it depends on your medical /mental condition, your Dr. will decide that point.\nI had my first transplant in Dec.1995 it lasted for 10 years, I had a Pancreas transplant in Dec. 2000, and my third transplant, a kidney in Dec. 05. As long as you want this to happen, and your health is good it will happen.\nA piece of advice, DO NOT wait for UNOS to find you a donor, get out now and find a living donor, family, friends , if you go to church ask anyone and every one to be tested, you will be surprised who will say yes, and even more surprised who matches you..\nGood luck\nfeel free to e-mail me any questions you might have..

End stage of any disease means the disease is terminal and you don't have too long left to live without serious treatment.  Don't panic, there are options.  Nine years ago I had end stage pulmonary disease and less than a year to live.  I recieved a double lung transplant and am doing well.  I also have a brother, who like you is facing end stage liver disease and has been informed that he has no more than two years to live.  He is at this moment being worked up for a liver transplant.  Don't give up hope, talk to your doctor about what options may be available ro you and very importantly what youcan do to otherwise maintain your health.  Whatever happens you will need your strength.  Good luck and if the transplant route is available to you and you want more information or moral support, please feel free to contact me.

Have you checked at the financial aid office? They would know exactly what you would qualify for. Also make sure to fill out fee waivers each and every semester. Congratulations on your sobriety and good luck with your education. You have A LOT to be proud of and grateful for!
