marrow

I just signed up with this website called marrow.org and am now in the process of registering to be a bone marrow donor. The web site has a quiz that you take to see if you might qualify as a donor. If you do then they send you a swab kit and take cells from your inner cheek used for tissue typing. If you match a patient in need you could be called to donate bone marrow. The whole process costs $52.

Also, if you haven't already, make sure you have signed up to be an organ donor and that you have a living will. Disabuse yourself of the notion that you need to be buried with all your organs. And you don't want someone who loves you (or, maybe someone who doesn't love you) having to make decisions about when to pull the plug on your life support and whether or not someone else can have your kidneys.

The end. Now, back to our regularly scheduled idiocy.
