An organ donor shared her story after her kidney was potentially one of the reasons for a traffic disruption in Boston Thursday.
"The whole experience is overwhelming, and a friend had sent me that text and said, 'Was this you?'" Morant recalled."I can't confirm, I'll never know 100% for sure, but the timing does add up."
Morant, who works for the WWE, started talking with a friend at an event, and found out he needed a kidney. She wanted to help, but wasn't a match. She later found out a former co-worker's wife needed a kidney. Again, she wasn't a match. They learned about a joint donor program, which is basically a chain reaction of donations, giving to a stranger to help multiple people get the kidneys they need.
"I actually just found out minutes ago that my kidney went to UCLA, and it's making urine, and the recipient is doing awesome," Morant said."Now, in return, Margaret will get her kidney, as well.""It's just one of those fun facts," Morant said."I can tell people two truths and a lie, 'One time I shut down the tunnel in Boston.'"
Morant has already been discharged from the hospital and is recovering. She says she already walked a mile Friday.
