Life is all that matters – ch. 12
Four days later and another large quantity of exams, it was confirmed that Bette could be a donor. It was left to inform Tina and get her consent. Tina was better of the infection, but her symptoms of hepatic failure were worse. Everyone expected that the certainty of an imminent transplant would show Tina that was worth to fight and that she could get better to bear a major surgery. Bette and Caroline were waiting in Tina’s room for the doctor coming to tell her the news.
The doctor arrived and checked Tina. After a few minutes of small talk, she started the conversation about the transplant.
“Tina, we didn’t talk about that before, but there is another possibility of transplant.”
That was enough to get Tina’s attention to the conversation so the doctor went ahead.
“You could receive a part of a liver of a living donor. And then both parts of the liver would regenerate.”
“And why you are telling me this now? Do you think I can’t wait a liver from a dead person?”
“No, it’s not like that Tina” tried to reassure the doctor. “It’s just a much more real possibility for now.”
“How? I have no contact with my family beyond Caroline and I know we don’t have the same blood type.”
“Yes, but a donor in this case it’s easier. You would be receiving it for a stranger. You just need to give an authorization to let him know why you need a liver and what are your chances to be completely cured with his donation.”
“Don’t tell me like it would be so easy. I don’t want to be so hopeful again.” said Tina with tears on her eyes.
“It will be possible, Tina, we already have a possible donor. It’s a perfect match and since he’s alive, he can wait until you are ready for the surgery.”
“Who is he?”
“I can’t tell you.”
“It sounds like a joke. Who wants to give a organ to someone that doesn’t know?”
“There are people whose relatives need a transplant or were cured for a serious ill so they are sensitive to the question. So what do you say, let’s go down this road or not?”
Tina turned to her side as if she wanted to think with some privacy or without feeling the expecting looks of Bette and Caroline on her. For Bette was impossible avert her eyes once she was worried if Tina would buy the history of the anonymous donor and knowing that Tina’s health and their future as a couple depended of that answer. After a deafening and long silence that seemed almost to span an eternity, Tina finally turned to them.
