This is not OJ and psychic visions
I had a vision of Dara walking her dog, she looked great. Her face was full of color and her hair was darker. She was smiling and she looked so healthy and happy. It was a nice vision, it made me feel good. I picked up a couple of urine collection bottles. They were orange, and lil Kel asked if they were for orange juice. They do sort of look like they would contain OJ. I said, no and laughed. I told Kel what they were for and he found it quite interesting. I have been reading alot about organ donation, transplants, and living donors lately. I did not realize that 17 people die everyday waiting for a transplant. While I don't believe in the selling of tissues and organs, I really disagree with how UNOS regulates living donors. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that if you meet someone over the internett than you cannot donate a kidney to them. This seems kind of lame to me. I think that if anything these types of donations would take names of of waiting lists and less people would die waiting for a cadavar organ. Organs from living donors are better right. You can get a closer match, they last longer, less chance of the recipients body rejecting it. I think that if it were not for the power going out at Dara's house, which is our house. The one she rents from us. I might never even have known how ill she was. That is when I first found out that she was on dialasys, but if not for this incident I may never have known. They are good tenants, they pay there rent on time. Some of the tenants that I have had I only see when I show them the house and when they sign the lease. Why can't you advertise your plight. Why can't you reach out t o fellow human beings and say, please help me. This is who I am and I need help. If there are no close relatives to donate to you and no friends offer are you just suppose to wait and hope for someone to die to help you. The only things that I volunteer to do at church are those tasks which I enjoy, therefore they really are not tasks, but if I am asked to do something I usually say yes and always end up finding joy or learning something from the experience. Dara did not have to ask, and I know she would never have but people should be allowed to. People will do amazing things if they are asked. While we are middle class family with children, I am in the wonderful position of not having to earn an income that we depend on. So I can very easily afford any time lost at work. I can recruit household help. I can even afford to pay someone if we have to but I would prefer not to. I will ask my mother to come and stay with me, I will ask my church members as well. So really this is not as much of a sacrifice for me as it would be for some. Mostly it will be my families sacrifice as they will Mommy will not be 100% for a bit.
