ewwww that's just nasty

Where did you think the tissue was coming from? We have organ donors for a reason, which means SKIN too. Sorry, but the only way you got an infection was because of your own, inability to take proper care of the site, like your doctor probably outlined in great detail before releasing you, causing it to get infected. That, or you have bad luck. Go to the doctor and get it taken care of and stop whining.

that's nasty

Hahaha, just imagine, what if the skin came off of some dead dudes dick. If you ever get married you'll be eternally cheating on your spouse.

I read that people who get donated organs, often develop some of the deceased donor's habits and personality. Theory is organs have "cellular memory."

As others have said, the "dead flesh" in your mouth was (and still is) a living skin transplant taken from someone who was thoughtful enough to decide to be an organ donor. They were most likely brain dead when the tissue was taken, just like with other types of organ transplants, so the tissue was still alive. It would have gone through a lot of processing and sterilization before being transplanted to you. So yes, the skin in the roof of your mouth is from a "dead person," but it could just as easily have gone to someone else who needed it, so you need to stop acting so ungrateful about it. Ask yourself: would you rather have a big hole in the roof of your mouth? That would definitely get infected, and probably have a lot worse complications. As for the infection, that isn't necessarily your fault, but is also probably not the doctors' fault either. After my wisdom tooth was taken out the site got infected, even though I'd been following all the post-op instructions exactly. My brother got his taken out on the same day by the same surgeon, did the same things as me, and didn't get an infection. Sometimes infections just happen, regardless of the care and precautions that are taken. The risk is never 0, and yours certainly doesn't come from the fact that the skin transplant came from a "dead person." It comes from bacteria that naturally live in your mouth anyway and just started growing somewhere they weren't supposed to, probably because of a tiny particle of food or drink that got stuck. That part is disgusting and painful, but infection is a risk with any surgery, regardless of whether you got a transplant. YDI for complaining about receiving a transplant from an organ donor, but FYL for the infection.

Though I will say that the fact is is infected is definitely worth a FML but I do think you are over reacting just a little to the dead person part. All organ donors are people who have agreed to give up their organs upon their death. And though most people tend to forget this, skin is an organ. Though I do say I am surprised they didn't offer to do a bone graft as an alternative to fill up the hole (since they probably knew there would be a hole beforehand) from your head or hip (if you are ever in that type of situation again always pick the head, it won't effect your walking like a graft from a hip would, the head will leave a bit of a bump from where the bone was removed (speaking from personal experience) but it will fill in over time and it is the better of the two).

wow that's gross

that u is so grislyy D:

So they did a cadaver transplant. Big ******* whoop, that IS how most donor transplants happen! They either take the skin from elsewhere on your body (leaving you with two surgery sites to tend to instead of just the one) or they take it from a donor body. And seeing as a donor transplant leaves you with one less surgery wound, I'd say you should be glad the doctor didn't decide to carve out a bit of your leg, arm, or ass to use, because that would leave you with a longer overall recovery time as you tend to both your mouth AND the place the graft was taken from. The skin is sanitized and treated, so it is perfectly sterile when placed on the recipient. It's not gross, it's not dirty. And just to put things in perspective......a donor body is still alive when the doctors start harvesting the organs (including the skin). Their mind/soul/whatever has already gone, but they use breathing machines and such to keep the body alive so that the organs can be taken in near-perfect condition. They keep the lungs, and heart going until they can be harvested, meaning that medically, that person is still alive (but brain-dead) during the procedure, right up until the last organ is taken and the body is prepared for the family to dispose of according to their traditions. Someone had the courage to say "after I leave this body, you can keep it alive and slice it up so that someone else might benefit from my time on this earth". Stop being so damn selfish.
