House 4.08, "You Don't Want To Know"

[random-thought-depository]

"12.1 MILLION tons of furniture waste went to landfills in the us in 2018*

That’s over 24.2 billion pounds (add in carpets and rugs for another almost 5 billion pounds) discarded to sit in landfills in 2018 alone.

For perspective, when we furnish a home, a one-bedroom apartment requires about 1.1 tons of furniture, so (for some quick math) 11 MILLION one-bedroom apartments are getting tossed into the trash each year.

Meanwhile, 37.9 million people, or 11.6% of the U.S. population, are living in poverty (2021 U.S. Census) and lack the basic necessities to make a house a home.

We solve two problems at the same time, collecting, repurposing, and curating gently-used furnishings and household goods (saving them from landfill) AND giving them to people in need."

"Requesting furniture from Make It Home requires a social worker, caseworker or case manager to make any requests.

If you need furniture, please contact your social worker or if you do not have a social worker, we can recommend some agencies that may be able to help you."

This came to my mind a few days ago when it was dongsik's birthday (because of the fact that they just chose the actors' birthdays for the characters lol) but I love that due to cultural differences the pseudoscience they went with in the script book is blood type theory.. it doesn't seem as varied as the MBTI or even the zodiac signs of western astrology but I love it nonetheless it works well for them! Joowon had the introversion and authoritative attitude of the AB type and Dongsik has the kindness and obsessive drive of the O type

what's making me tear my hair out is how in the end they gave up their lives for each other both metaphorically & literally. wilson sacrificed time and money and energy to be with house and to help him in anyway he could over and over again. he never had a lasting marriage or family or a longterm meaningful romantic relationship. all because house was his best friend. and house gives back in his own fucked up little indirect way too. in return house ruins his life so he can be together with wilson in his final months. just insanity

Jay glances at Hailey with tired eyes before turning back and knocking on the door. 

It’s been a busy couple of days in the city and there just aren’t patrol officers available to canvas the street for them which means they get to do it themselves. 

Which isn’t the worst thing in the world but it does take a lot of time away from the hundreds of other things they need to do today. 

He pushes down those thoughts as the door opens, a teenage girl standing behind the screen door. 

“Hi.” he says, plastering a smile across his face. “I’m -”

“Mr. Jay!” she says, eyes lighting up. 

He stutters to a stop, studying her face and trying to figure out where he knows her from. 

“J-Jennifer?” he asks, his own eyes going wide. “How are you doing?”

“It’s been amazing!” she says, swinging open the screen door and motioning them inside. “The liver has been incredible. I was able to start taking dance lessons after I recovered and now I do dance, cheer and tennis.”

“Yeah?” Jay asks, glancing around the room at the photos and trophies. “You look a lot more energetic and just healthy than I remember.”

She nods. 

“Absolutely.” she agrees. “And it’s all thanks to you. I can’t thank you enough.”

“I was happy to help.” he tells her. “And even more happy to see how well you’ve been able to use it.”

“I knew that I was getting such an incredible gift and it was very important to me to make sure that I made good use of it.” she says, cheeks filling with color. 

“Jennifer.” he says seriously. “This is all incredible but you know that all I wanted for you was that you lived past the age of nine. Everything else is you going above and beyond and living your best life and I am so happy for you.”

“Can I hug you?” she asks with a shy smile and he’s quick to nod, opening his arms for her to step into them. 

When she steps back, he bites his lip. 

“As much as I’d love to spend the rest of the day catching up,” he says reluctantly. “We are here for work. Is your mom here?” 

“You guys are here about the home invasion down the street, right?” she asks. 

“That’s right.” he confirms. “We’re talking to everyone on the street to see if anyone saw anything or maybe has outdoor cameras that might have picked something up.”

“I was away at cheer camp when it happened.” she says. “Just got home this morning but let me grab mom. Even if she didn’t see anything she can get you the tapes from the cameras.”

He nods and she hurries down the hall. 

Hailey steps up, putting a hand on his arm. 

“You okay?” she says quietly. 

“I never even thought about how different her life would be after the transplant.” he whispers. “But she’s so… so happy and healthy.”

“You did something so special and beautiful.” she tells him. “And in case I haven’t told you lately, I am so proud of you. And not just for what you did for Jennifer.”

He offers her a slightly overwhelmed smile and she squeezes his arm before letting her hand fall as Jennifer and her mother come back into the room. 

“Detective Halstead.” Eleanor says warmly, her face lighting up. “It’s so wonderful to see you.”

“Call me Jay.” he insists, smiling at her. “It’s amazing to see how well you guys are doing. And I so wish that I wasn’t here for work because I have a case to solve or I really would love to stay and catch up.”

“You’ll need my number for your report.” she says easily. “We can make plans to do dinner another time. Jennifer said you guys were asking about the home invasion.”

“We are.” Hailey confirms. “Did you see or hear anything out of the ordinary last night?”

“There was an unusual truck that spent a lot of time up and down the street.” she says. “Some early in the morning but it showed up again just after dinner. There wasn’t a logo and I didn’t get a plate but it was a blue pickup truck. And I can get you the outdoor cameras from the last couple of days and hopefully you can get more of what you need from that.”

“Thank you.” Jay says, taking the flash drive that she’s holding out. “I’ll reach out about dinner. It’ll be great to catch up properly.”

“Agreed.” she says, stepping forward to hug him quickly, stepping back before he has a chance to truly respond. 

He and Hailey step toward the door, knowing that they have a lot more people to talk to before they can get back to the district and start piecing together what they might have found on the canvas but he feels a lot better about this canvas already. 

“Bye Jay.” Jennifer calls and he glances back to wave at her, breaking into a wide smile when he sees her holding a familiar teddy bear, waving it’s little hand at him. 

“Bye Jay.” he echoes, shaking his head at the bear that she’d named after him. 

She’s laughing when he finally steps out of the door and the sound fills him with unbelievable warmth. 

It had been a difficult recovery but he’d never once stopped believing that it had been one hundred percent worth it. 

And seeing the happy, thriving life that Jennifer is living just makes it even more so.

Organ donation and transplantation; unexpected consequences

"A donor remains connected to his organs and to the new recipients of his transplanted organs."

"Intention of the donor

Many people wish to help their fellow human being by donating their organs for transplantation. Does it not seem to be the best thing there is to allow a blind person to see again by donating your cornea, to give a person with heart problems new life opportunities by donating your heart?

What does the recipient do with this?

A donor of a cornea helps a blind person to see again. The blind person receives new opportunities as a result, he can use the new light in his eyes to help other people and to make a contribution to a better world. But he can now also steal from or ill-treat other people. In the worst case he could even use this new light to murder someone. If the donor were to know in advance that the recipient would use the transplanted cornea for a murder, would he still donate his cornea? And does the donor still have something to do with this, now that he is dead?

New feelings for the recipient

A number of people who have received an organ then experience unexpected new feelings, such as a pronounced preference for eating meat, drinking alcohol, smoking or for a particular type of music. These new feelings are experienced as alien, they do not belong to the personality of the recipient, they are completely new in their nature and intensity.

Of course, these people wonder where these new feelings come from. Some people succeeded in finding out who their donor is. And to their astonishment it appears that these new feelings belong to the donor. By viewing the possessions of the donor or by asking the people who knew the donor well, it became clear that these feelings played a large role in the life of the donor.

These new feelings can occur not just in the case of an organ transplant but also in the case of a blood transfusion. Jozef Rulof says that if he were to receive blood from another person, he would also experience feelings from the donor. Not everyone experiences this, because much depends on the sensitivity of the recipient."

"Consequences for the donor

By means of the transplanted organ, the donor forms part of the life of the recipient. The donor partly enables what the recipient does with the rest of his life. The donor who lives on spiritually in the hereafter will be influenced by the life of the recipient. If the recipient dedicates the rest of his life to helpfulness, the donor will only experience positive consequences from this. However, if the recipient creates misery, that misery will burden the donor in the hereafter.

When the organs of the donor are transplanted for various people, the donor will form part of the lives of all these recipients. The more organs are transplanted, the more the passing on to the hereafter will be delayed and burdened."

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Day ❄️

The day finally arrived – when a precious, miraculous little embryo got transferred into my body. Years in the making, and countless hopes, dreams and fears made. It had been a long road (sometimes lonely) accepting my absolute infertility, and getting to where we were. Hoping to finally get pregnant through the use of IVF and an egg donor. You can read more about the DEIVF journey here. Luck…

Organ Transplants and Mental Health: Coping with Emotional Challenges

Organ transplantation is a remarkable medical advancement that offers a lifeline to individuals suffering from organ failure. In a bustling metropolis like Mumbai, the demand for organ transplantation, particularly liver transplants, is rising. This life-saving procedure is physically demanding and poses significant emotional and psychological challenges. Coping with these emotional hurdles is a crucial aspect of the transplant journey. Thankfully, organizations, including NGOs helping with liver transplants, play a pivotal role in providing support, information, and resources to help individuals navigate the emotional complexities of organ transplantation.

The Emotional Journey of Organ Transplant Recipients

For individuals awaiting organ transplantation, the emotional toll can be significant. They often grapple with various emotions, including anxiety, fear, and anticipation. The uncertainty of when a suitable organ will become available and the life-or-death nature of the procedure can lead to profound stress.

The Role of Mental Health in Transplantation

Mental health is a crucial aspect of the transplant journey. The stress and emotional upheaval associated with organ transplantation can impact a person’s overall well-being and physical recovery. Anxiety and depression, if left unaddressed, can hinder the body’s ability to heal and adapt to the new organ.

In this context, the support of NGOs helping with liver transplants in Mumbai and similar organizations across the world becomes invaluable. These NGOs often have mental health professionals and support networks that offer recipients a safe space to express their emotions, share their experiences, and access counselling services.

The Power of Support Networks

Support networks are lifelines for organ transplant recipients. They provide a sense of belonging and understanding that is vital during this journey. Whether connecting with other recipients who have faced similar emotional struggles or relying on friends and family for support, these networks can help individuals feel less isolated.

NGOs focused on organ transplantation often organize support groups where recipients can share their stories and insights. Hearing from others who have walked a similar path can be immensely reassuring. These organizations also offer resources on mental health, including coping strategies and tools to manage stress and anxiety.

The Role of NGOs in Supporting Mental Health

NGOs helping with liver transplants in Mumbai and other major cities in India and worldwide are dedicated to providing comprehensive support to transplant recipients. They recognize that the emotional journey is as critical as the physical one.

These organizations offer:

Counselling Services: Many NGOs have trained mental health professionals who specialize in working with transplant recipients. They provide one-on-one counselling and group therapy sessions to address emotional challenges.

Educational Resources: NGOs offer information and educational materials on mental health, organ transplantation, and the recovery process. This knowledge empowers recipients to understand better and manage their emotional well-being.

Support Groups: Support groups create a sense of community. They allow recipients to connect, share experiences, and receive emotional support from their peers.

Advocacy: NGOs often advocate for policies and practices that promote transplant recipients’ mental and emotional well-being. They work to reduce stigmas surrounding mental health issues in the context of transplantation.

Access to Financial and Social Services: Some organizations offer assistance with financial and social challenges, as these can be additional stressors for transplant recipients.

Conclusion

Organ transplantation is a journey that extends beyond the operating room. The emotional challenges that recipients face can be profound and impactful. However, with the support of organizations like NGOs helping with liver transplants in Mumbai and elsewhere, individuals can access the resources, counselling, and communities that help them navigate the emotional complexities of this life-changing experience.

Mental health support is an integral part of the transplantation process, and these organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that recipients receive the comprehensive care they need to cope with the emotional challenges, heal, and embrace their second chance at life.
