In the U.S.A., this is again National Donate Life Month by Presidential Proclamation. For me, this was the prompt, in 2002, for the transplant center receptionist to call and say, "So, are you still interested in being a donor?" Infuriating, as none of my calls had been returned for months. I sincerely hope this annual event has better associations for you. Best wishes to all April donors and recipients, recognizing that not all are still with us. Take care.
