Harvest time......

I experienced my first "harvest" at work the other night. VERY interesting. A harvest is when you take the organs out of an organ donor. This lady was 39 yrs. old and had a heart attack. The most interesting part about it is the fact that the ladies spirit had left her body, but we were keeping her organs alive like she hadnt passed away yet. Also got a to take a trip to the morgue, I was expecting a place like you see on CSI-nope, just a little tiny room, nothing really even to write about...............take care of yourselves, this lady had no history of any problems, very sad.

What a cool experience. I will ever be greatful for people who donate their loved ones' organs. It's a lung transplant that saved my sister-in-law's life.
