When can I start walking again?

Its coming up to about a month now that I’ve been in Hospital and I have not stepped foot out of my bed. The feeling of having the freedom to walk being taken away from you isn’t good at all. I was in bed all day and all night. My thoughts go out to those who are bed-ridden.

I know not many people would say this but I just really want to go for a run.

I think the one thing we could take away from this, is that you should never take your freedom for granted. A couple of months ago, I was able to do whatever I wanted to, go on hikes with my friends, go for a swim, hit the gym, play rugby and go out partying till late. I never thought I would have been THAT 17 year old boy that was stuck in the ICU of a hospital for nearly a month not being able to walk and not knowing where his life is heading.

 The importance of being an organ donor! 

​

The fact that signing up to be an Organ donor you could save up to eight human beings from dying is a bigger positive than you can imagine. Saving a humans life is one of the things people can sometimes only imagine of doing. Through the act of Organ Donation, YOU can change this. 

 

Organ Donation gives everyone the ability to save a life. In fact, your eyes could help someone you’ve never met see the world. Your organs could make someone on the edge of dying get their breath back. Organ Donation mostly takes place after a signed up Organ Donor has passed. There is an extremely large gap between the number of registered donors compared to those awaiting Organ Donation world wide. 

 

The way I look at it is like this - when you were a child, you probably had the idea of one day wanting to be a Super-hero. Once you pass, you will no longer be needing those organs and they could be put to great use by saving another human beings life. When a person receives an Organ Transplant, not only do you become their hero, but you also become a hero to the many people involved in his/her life.
