[quote name="Just Another Mysterious Stranger"]That's a great story, and at the very end of the zone of likely/possible for these situations. Actually, it's basically not-possible that you lived and got transplanted. I do a lot of volunteer service in the local transplant community, and the stories are pretty wild as a rule, but yours wins the A. Pismo Clam Award for Unlikeliest Survivor. I guess the main advantage to having a fulminating hepatitis situation like yours is that your body (the rest of it) was basically very strong and healthy, and you didn't spend an eternity on a waiting list, getting sicker. That's a huge advantage. But the rest of it: unreal. Your choices: (a) buy a lottery ticket. You're freakishly lucky and you'll win. (b) don't buy a lottery ticket ever again. Your allotment of luck has been used up for this lifetime and you'll anger the gods.[/quote]
