to benefit human organ donation.
The idea of the proposal is t-shirt prints and jewellery in the shape
of human organs. By wearing a t-shirt or jewellery people will make a pro-donation statement.Pamela Lindgren Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07522654954019851610noreply@blogger.comBlogger305125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135858872424591700.post-63995766103688737532020-01-09T03:21:00.000-08:002020-02-07T05:07:38.663-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>We recently had the privilege of meeting Sofia Larsson and talking about organ donation. Sofia received a new liver about a half year ago, and she agreed to share with us what it was like for her to go through the organ transplantation process and the many thoughts and feelings it awoke in her. Thank you, Sofia, for sharing your story! We hope that we will soon be able to tell you more about Sofia’s and Recycle me’s new plans! Remember to make your wishes known, as others have already done, so that we can save lives together!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>- Could you please tell us who you are, and something about your background?</b><br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I grew up and lived in a little village near Trollhättan until I was nineteen, with my mum and dad and two siblings. We’re all very close in my family, so even though the period of my illness was tough for us all, my family has been a tremendous support and a secure haven for me that I couldn’t have managed without. My illness was discovered in 2009, when I was 14, and in the beginning nobody knew what it was and I had to undergo various examinations. It turned out that I probably had autoimmune hepatitis and primary schlerosing cholangitis, which is like an inflammation in the liver that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver. Even today, doctors are uncertain whether I had both diagnoses but that’s what they believe anyway. These two illnesses are closely related and sometimes it’s hard to draw a sharp line between them, but I probably had a mixture of the two. The doctors decided that heavy doses of cortisone and a liver transplantation within the next few years were the best solution.<br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>When I was 19, I moved to Gothenburg to study human resources management and have now got my qualification. During my time as a student I met the man I’m now living with who has naturally also given me enormous support and security without which I couldn’t have coped. Obviously, it’s been a tough time for him too, but now that we’ve got through depression, transplantation, anxiety attacks and a long wait together, we’re stronger together than ever, which is a bit of a cliché. We’ve really had to experience the other’s true self, and to accept that things are not always that easy.<br />
<br />
<b>- Could you please tell us what you had to go through? Your thoughts before transplantation and now afterwards? What transplantation has meant for you and your family?</b><br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The treatment I was given helped me to survive without transplantation for many more years than the doctors had believed possible in the beginning. Transplantation was always part of the future and you never arrive at the future, so it was a shock when the doctors thought it was time to start the transplantation preparation procedure to put me on the waiting list. The transplantation preparation procedure started in the summer of 2017 and carried on for about 5 months since there wasn’t any great panic to get me onto the waiting list. About a month before I was put on the waiting list, after a hectic week at work, I suddenly lost all my energy. During the weekend, I had no strength for anything and I had to report sick on Monday. My idea was that I’d be back at work on Tuesday or Wednesday the same week when I’d recharged my batteries. But it is only now, about one and a half years later and after my transplantation that I can even consider returning to work. It was probably fatigue with physical exhaustion on account of the illness but also mental exhaustion because of all that was going on. It led to a depression and panic anxiety attacks that were something extra that I had to deal with over and above the waiting.<br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The period spent on the waiting list was tough in many ways, since I was obviously waiting for that phone call and wanted it to come as soon as possible since I was getting worse and worse. During the last period before the operation, I had no strength to go out and was also prevented by the anxiety attacks. At the same time I was also afraid to get a phone call, since I didn’t feel ready for the operation. Some days I really wanted the call to come, but at the same time I couldn’t hope for that, since a phone call would mean that somebody had passed away and that there were now relatives left behind and grieving. Therefore my feelings were extra split between wanting and not wanting the call, since I couldn’t wish for somebody to die. I also felt disgusted about having someone else’s organ inside me, which made me almost wish they would take my name off the list. However, my love for those close to me was so strong that I didn’t want to hurt them by cutting my life so much shorter as would have been the case if I’d chosen not to have a transplantation. I would rather feel bad myself than have them feel bad. Now, when I’ve had my transplantation, I don’t feel any disgust at all, having seen photos of what my sick liver looked like and that being one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. So even if the liver I have now has belonged to someone else, it is in any case healthy and in good working condition.<br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>That phone call from the transplantation coordinators came twice for me to be a reserve, which meant that I would get the liver if the person before me in the queue couldn’t take it for some reason. Then one had to be ready within a minute or so either to go back home or to get ready for operation. It took weeks for me to recover mentally from all the extra stress. However, the third time it was my turn, the liver was mine. This was slightly more than one year after I’d been put on the waiting list. They can’t guarantee that there’ll be an operation before one is actually lying on the operating table, however, in case something doesn’t look right. But everything looked OK and the liver was perfectly compatible with me. Afterwards they said that the operation couldn’t have gone better, and that even though they had problems during the operation, they solved them in the best possible way. Even after the operation, my blood values have continued to improve steadily. My pulse is still a bit high and I’m still very tired, but after only a week I felt better and was more energetic than I’d been for many years. What a wonderful feeling! My family and closest friends have also been able to relax and don’t need to be so worried about me any longer. I can’t imagine how tough it’s been for them, and I think it’s almost tougher to be a bystander than to go through it oneself.<br />
<br />
<b>- If you want to and know who the donor was or is, what are your thoughts on that?</b><br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I don’t know much about the donor, only that the donor was taller and broader than I am, as one surgeon told me after the transplantation. Since I’m quite tall for a girl, I think the donor must have been a man. But that’s only a guess, the only thing I know about is size, what the donor died of and that the donor was young. I don’t really like speculating any more than this, but it’s necessary for me to have some kind of picture of the donor to be able to grieve and be grateful to the donor and his family, but I don’t want to have too clear a picture because then it would all be too real and that would be harder for me to handle. I feel guilt, mainly towards the donor’s family, that I’m alive and enjoying having my life back while they are grieving for somebody they love.<br />
<br />
<b>- There’s so much that people don’t know about organ donation, for example why one may need a new organ, how was that in your case? How do you see the future, any plans? If you think it important, why do you think it important to know about organ donation?</b><br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I want to focus on the importance of making a decision about donating one’s organs if the question should arise. To have made a decision makes things so much easier for the families and relatives at a very difficult time. Donating one’s organs can save many lives. If one is willing to receive organs if one needs, then I think one should also be willing to donate organs. As someone who has been on a waiting list and been transplanted, I also want to spread information about organ transplantation so that people can understand that one not only feels enormous gratitude but that there are many other feelings involved too, and that it is actually a complicated operation. Also, many people feel that they lose part of their identity when they get well, which doesn’t necessarily mean they are less thankful but just that it is a complex situation with lots of different emotions.<br />
<br />
-<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>When I was 23 all I had energy for was to sleep 18 hours a days and lie around on the sofa the rest of the time, no life to speak of, so of course I’m incredibly thankful to have got my life back even though it has been a very tough time as well.<br />
<br />

the Arts. It was established in 2017 and this year we successfully hosted our
second annual Imibala festival. Our aim is to develop and give a platform to
emerging artists from previously disadvantaged areas in Port Elizabeth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>- What is the meaning of the track Mbaqanga?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Mbaqanga track is a throwback to the 1970's genre of Mbaqanga and kwela music
in South Africa. I like to call it my people of the South track as I wrote it
in Sicily, recorded it in Granada Spain and shot the music video in South
Africa. The music video pays hommage to Nelson Mandela and the ideals of unity,
Ubuntu and togetherness he stood for and was shot in Nelson Mandela Bay. This
song also celebrates the diversity of our rainbow nation post Apartheid and
bringing people of the World together through music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Claudia, she is a biologist and worked as a university teacher in Brazil. She
currently lives in Sweden, here she is wearing a RECYCLE ME Liver T-shirt for
organ donation awareness to encourage us all to talk about organ donation to
each other. To quote Claudia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“- Donating
organs is an act of love for others! </span>Sometimes
you want to give away and your family does not find it interesting, it is
important to talk about the desire to help save lives when you are no longer
here. Six years ago, my dear aunt died waiting for a liver or part of an organ.
The waiting line is too long and she was getting increasingly sick and could
not resist .. She was an organ donor, but unfortunately she couldn´t donate her
corneas, nor any other part because she was very sick, but she wanted very
much. Talking
about organ donation is important to make the subject normal and to make more
and more people wanting to help save other lives.” - Claudia Santos Klostermann</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Thank you,
Claudia, for sharing your thoughtful words and promoting this important stand! </span>Keep
spreading the message. – Organ Donation includes all of us! Your wishes matter!</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Msaki is a composer and singer-songwriter from East
London, South Africa. She was born into a musically gifted family with a
father, who was a DJ while studying at the University of Fort Hare, and also
ran choirs throughout his life. He was one of Msaki’s first influences. Her
grandfather was also a well-known composer and songwriter therefore it comes as
no surprise that at a young age Msaki knew that there was magic in music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">2012 was the year the singer-songwriter was selected
from over 900 applicants from all over the world to go study in North Carolina
USA with 30 other artists, musicians and writers. The time she spent focused on
creativity, spirituality and falling in love with music, which is what
propelled Msaki into being a full-time independent performing artist. When she
returned to South Africa her music career began and she signed herself to her
own Indie Label, One Shushu Day Artistry.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Msaki creates a sound that combines soulful folk with
symphonic movements, Xhosa lyrics and African poly-rhythms with portals of
sincere improvisations. Her raw delivery disrupts your senses, leaving you
moved and quietly longing for more as she weaves subtle tales of love, loss,
home, revolution and hope. She plays with an ever-evolving and expanding band
of incredible musicians from different musical backgrounds, which she calls the
Golden Circle.” </span></div>

in his early 30’s when pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) was diagnosed. Before he was
ill, he practiced in various sports, including table tennis, squash, cycling
and running. The next four years after he was diagnosed, the disease changed
him. The duration of his power was rapidly deteriorating and it was almost
impossible for him to move without oxygen. A stair elevator was needed, André had
to stop work and visited the hospital often. But he still went with oxygen to
the sport school and swimming (with a tube of 12m and the bottle on the site of
the pool!) until even that wasn’t possible anymore in spite of full oxygen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was changed completely by the lifesaving "Gift of life" of an unknown lung
donor. After the transplant, his health improved immediately and after four
months he was able to his work on the bike again! One year after
transplantation, he participated in the World Transplant Games (<a href="https://wtgf.org/">WTG</a>)</span><span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">in Sydney, Australia. André was then able to participate in all of the
following WTG and developed in athletics, winning many medals. The WTG Gold
Coast, Australia in 2009 was his most successful with world records in the 100m
and 200m sprints and gold in high and long jump. André is most proud of his
sporting performance in 2008, when he became Dutch champion at the 200m sprint
M50, whose opponents in the final did not know or barely knew of his double lung
transplantation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In 2014, André, as initiator of Expedition Kilimanjaro, managed to climb with 8
other organ transplant recipients, under the responsibility of <a href="https://www.umcg.nl/EN/corporate/The_University_Medical_Center/Paginas/default.aspx">the
UMCG</a>, the Kilimanjaro with the summit at 5895m. In addition to his athletic
achievements, André has dealt with a number of administrative functions. As
Vice-President of the European Heart Lung Transplant Federation, Chairman of
the Organizing Committee for the European Heart and Lung Transplant Games in
Apeldoorn 2012, Chairman of the Dutch Sport and Transplantation Foundation and
in 2013 elected Trustee, and since 2015, Chairman of the Sports Committee of
the World Transplant Games Federation. For his inspiring sports performance and
administrative functions after his double lung transplant, in 2016 André Lassooij received <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk519707139">the
European Lung Foundation Award (ELF). </a>Earlier, the ELF Award was awarded to
the World Health Organization (2014), FC Barcelona (2013) and Mr Bloomberg, New

for Kids”, André promoted physical activity for children before and after
transplant by giving presentations in 15 transplant centers for children on his
cycling route of 3610 km over Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Paris, Madrid and
Malaga. To meet, speak and inspire the children, parents and doctors about
physical activity solutions in and outside the hospital. Andre said <i>"</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Giving them a feeling there is a healthy
future possible after the transplant was a wonderful experience”.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">” I became interested in organ donation after seeing a program on
TV about axolotl salamanders, that are self-regenerating. They can also
transfer cells to each other for healing purposes when necessary. Research on
these salamanders is making great progress with its contributions to knowledge
about organ donation. I find it very interesting to see how human beings,
nature and animals can work together, turning up possibilities for new ideas
and innovations by taking note of small things in nature, its threads and its
networks." - Ellinor Johansson<o:p></o:p></span></div>

process oxygen and</span> <span style="background: white;">breaking down oxygen
so it can be used by body cells for creating energy.</span> The left lung is slightly
smaller than the right lung and has two lobes, and the right lung has three
lobes. Apart from the difference in the number of lobes, the structure of left
lung differs slightly from the structure of right lung. The left lung contains
a ‘cardiac notch’. The cardiac notch is a small place designed to accommodate
the heart. <span style="background: white;">Human lungs breathe in and out about

We had the pleasure of meeting Carolina Poelk a Product and UX Designer from Germany to talk about organ donation and how we can unite and act together to raise awareness. <br />
<br />
“I am a product designer, working and living in beautiful Gothenburg. I am passionate about creating and designing meaningful and beautiful products and meeting people that share the same visions about collaboration. I believe that we have come to an era where we no longer have resources and time to waste <span class="text_exposed_show">on meaningless objects and designs. We have the responsibility to strive for sustainability, raise awareness and focus on what’s best for our planet. </span>Organ donation is in my opinion the most profound act of humanity and should go without saying. Since it is not yet a given thing for everyone to sign up for, any opportunity to raise awareness should be taken.” - Carolina Poelk<br />

This is Francis Löfvenholm, a professional photographer from Gothenburg, Sweden. We meet Francis in an art and science collaboration “Explainartist" about the increased CO2 in the ocean. The ways we treat the ocean and our human bodies are closely linked. The human body contains 70% water, and in that way we are the ocean. Each one of us carries a little bit of the ocean within our bodies. How we treat nature has an instant effect on us, and therefore we must treat it respect<span class="text_exposed_show">fully and well in order for us as species as well as other species to survive and be healthy.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Our cultural values, customs and beliefs affect the way we treat the Earth as well as how we treat each other. To sign up as a potential organ donator is a good way to unite with others concerning our common humanity and existence, and our individual lives. More people registered as organ donors will increase the chances of saving lives: yours and those of your fellow human beings.<br />
<br />
Recycle Me encourages you to make your wishes known by registering with the organ donations register in your country.<br />

who we are and where we come from, autonomy is in the essence of our capacity
to make decisions as individuals, organisations, and societies. </span>In the
realms of war and conflict, struggles for rights, self-achievements, and
artistic and scientific explorations, autonomy is a complex and distinctive
driver for the development of mankind. Throughout history it has referred to
the political independence of the Greek city-states and was a predominant
motivation for the European wars of religion in the 17th century. In the 18th
century, Kant brought it to the centre of theoretical and practical philosophy
debates. During the 19th century, the phrase “art for art's sake” reflected the
Romantic movement's desire to detach art from the stress of rationalism and was
the foundation for the development of abstract art in the 20th century. In the
scientific world of today and tomorrow it will continue to be a major driver in
the development of innovative autonomous."<br />

Swedish researcher Göran Smith, a jack-of-all-trades. At work, he’s passionate
about finding new ways of increasing the modal share of ‘sustainable
traveling’, and hopes that his research will contribute to such a development. At
home, we have heard, he mostly brags about his niece’s kindergarten achievements while dreaming about cycling
around the world. In the meantime, he also teaches girls newly
arrived in the country how to play soccer. In this photo Göran is wearing a
RECYCLE ME T-shirt for organ donation awareness. By showing his support for
organ donation Göran helps us to spread the word- Organ Donation Concerns Us All!
Thank you Göran!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
