Histoire d’une (2e) greffe du foie is a personal blog by Joel documenting his experience preparing for and undergoing a second liver transplant, alongside a kidney transplant. Through chronological accounts, the author describes the medical decisions, procedures, and emotional challenges surrounding this complex journey. His posts explain how a potential donor is assessed, how Quebec Transplant and transplant teams coordinate organ offers, and why surgeons inspect donated organs before proceeding. The blog also recounts the difficult decision to accept a kidney despite a positive crossmatch, the risks discussed by specialists, and the role his wife played in providing consent when he was unable to do so.

Readers can follow the events leading to surgery and learn about the transplant process through one patient’s firsthand perspective, including the lengthy operations and recovery hopes that accompanied them. The site is an informational and autobiographical resource rather than a provider of medical products or services.
