Anne Dorval as the heart recipient
It chronicled the story of the transplant of a heart from donor to recipient ...now
I have been involved several times in the harvesting of organs .. so the movie intrigued me
One scene, where a heart failure patient sleeps alongside her distraught lesbian lover ( who just happens to be a concert pianist ) I found especially moving and I had to smile that as I blubbed quietly in seat D13 a woman who often sits in C12 ( that I nod to but have never talked to) silently passed me a tissue over her shoulder!
awwww...sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the tissue for?
ReplyDeleteFor harvesting his organ, of course.
Deletelol, Tom :)
DeleteDirty sod
ReplyDeleteOur 64 year old neighbor and friend of 18 years just received a complete lung transplant 2 weeks ago. He had about 1 year to live without the transplant and now his oxygen levels are 98%. Shands Hospital in Gainsville FL does about 4 transplants a week. It is all so amazing and we are so happy for he and his wife! I'm taking care of their 2 cats for the next month....they miss their daddy!!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness, that is amazing !
DeleteShe wouldn't have had them out if she hadn't been sniffling a bit, too :)
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful of her.
ReplyDeleteI like her. Perhaps you should introduce yourself before blubbering next time. :)
ReplyDeleteIts an arthouse cinema which shows foreign movies. Most of the clientelle are the same faces each week!
DeleteHuman connection!
ReplyDeleteHuman connection!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm... an organ transplant is also 'passing a tissue', in a manner of speaking.
ReplyDeleteWell done that woman in D12.
ReplyDeleteOoh now I want to know who D12 is !
ReplyDeleteI love that you know the patrons in your local cinema! So small-town. :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know her , i just recognise her from going regulary
DeleteOh how sweet ! makes going to the cinema alone, not so alone ..
ReplyDeleteBeen there pre harvesting, been there for patients with liver, kidney, small bowel, lung and heart transplants. Rewarding work. Loads of tears for all reasons.
ReplyDeleteBev, its hard to be a part of i found
DeleteTake a bag of skinny popcorn next time and offer her some. Sharing's caring.
ReplyDeleteA movie theater has held many a cry from me.
ReplyDeleteI have needed a "tissue lady, C12 type" often . . .
O.k., people, you need to stop sending in such good entries for the veggie competition. My chances of winning have dropped to absolutely zippety-zilch. So stop it! I mean it! (At this point my entries will probably qualify for the 'tried very hard' consolation badge.
