Sometimes cadaver bones are used as donors. They're generally done with their bones by then.  ;)

If you are an organ donor you think about heart, lungs and kidneys. However, when I was in the funeral home I did many eye enucleations over the years. For donors that went beyond that, the common organs were seldom taken. Bones and skin were the next most harvested, after the eyes. Femurs and humerus, occasionally the pelvic arch, and large rectangular patches of skin from the back and thighs.

After the skin is cleaned and trimmed in preparation for grafting it is run through a machine that puts in little slits. During grafting the patch is stretched, and it has the appearance of expanded metal sheeting. The bone goes through a process that when completed leaves a 3/8" cube that looks like a white crouton.

Great news Timothy! Will continue to pray for your healing, because even though it is a long painful process, PT is always better than surgery.

That's kind of a fancy way of saying you gouged out  lot of eyeballs. At least you weren't doing it to living people. I knew a lot of eyes and skin were harvested, but no idea how much. I've seen a cadaver bone shaped like a short french fry and as white as white can get. No DNA or anything left but the scaffolding to grow new bone into. Pretty neat. I never thought of it that way but those skin grafts really do look like expanded metal when they stretch out. They're full of diamonds.

I’ve been an organ donor forever and I’ve donated my body to UMASS Med School along with my wife some years back.  Carry the card in my wallet.

They cover cremation costs as well.

I do recall informing you of my degree in Advanced Taxidermy. You can read this and walk away. It is 25 years of my life that still dwells in my dreams at night.

I don't carry an Organ Donor card. It's right on my driver's license, and I try to keep that on me any time I leave the house. I changed all personally identifying information on the picture, but didn't touch the lower right corner. I also have my blood type on my key chains, just in case it's not time to donate my organs yet. I have black to match my Yukon Denali, and gray on my Sportsman 570 SP key ring (but it's the wrong shade of gray). My older brother said, the way drive, that's a good idea. He should talk. My younger brother wiped out on his ATV and told my older brother, slow down on that curve where I just crashed. So the dumbass hopped on, and went and crashed in the same exact place, doing the same exact thing. I have a couple of OD green spare key chains to attach to a gun case or range bag if I want to.

P.S. Do we know how to drift a thread, or what?  :)

Always wonder about those blood type tags.  If I were a medical person would I trust those?  What ER isn’t going to run a type and cross match before giving blood?
