Not a CF'er

[starrynight]

But watching 65_Redroses made me become an organ donor. I used to have the opinion that my organs = my body. Eva changed all that. After the documentary, I realized that when I die, there will be no reason to have organs anymore, so I signed up to be an organ donor, and happily so

Thanks for posting...
Im also an organ donor and after watching 65_Redroses made me more aware of the realitys of the disease.

I knew a bit about CF before I saw the movie, and I knew it was fatal, but seeing someone actually suffer through it on screen totally changed my mind about organ donation. I don't need my organs when I'm dead, might as well give them to someone who wants to live.

I didnt know a whole lot bout CF until i started dating Megmucus...
She and the documentary taught me alot ...ive always been an organ donor
I would want my organs to go to someone who has CF

Oh...I didn't realize you were Meg's boyfriend. I kinda stalk her LJ because I think she's totally awesome.

I too would like my organs to go to someone with CF. But hopefully when I'm old, there will already be a cure for CF :)

You're an amazing person, and as a CFer I thank you.

Thank you! That means so much to me. I'm sorry you have such a crappy disease, my grandpa got lung cancer twice and it's what killed him. He was on oxygen 24/7 and had one lung taken out the first time around. I can't imagine what it feels like to not take a deep breath. I get short of breath easily sometimes when I exert myself but if I rest and take it easy, then I'm fine. I consider myself lucky.

i just watched it the other day as well and decided to become an organ donor

Awesome. The more, the better.

It was hard to watch the movie.I got it on dvd and watched it yesterday. What makes it harder to watch is knowing that Meg is gone, too.
