My Wife Elizabeth Needs A Type O Kidney Asap

My wife, Elizabeth, desperately needs a type O kidney. She is in renal failure and needs to have a transplant from a living donor. None of her sibling or other relatives are a good match. I am looking for that special person who would be willing to be tested for a possible match. I'm not ready to let go of her yet. If you are interested in being tested please respond to this blog.

Elizabeth has been my wife for going on 24 wonderful years. She has also been a caring mother to our now grown son. She is currently writing a book about her health experiences. Her medical history has been incredible - she was diagnosed with diabetes at age 4 and suffered all the usual consequences of that disease - including kidney disease, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, neurgenic bladder, hypertension, pericarditis, fibromalgia, and stroke. Recently she has struggled with gangrene in her left toe. She has had numerous surgeries - too many to count but she is like a prize fighter in a ring taking punches in the ropes but able to come back the next round. Now she is feeling the effects of toxins in her bloodstream and feels miserable much of the time. I am seeing continual deterioration in her ability to function as a result of her failing kidney. We would be eternally grateful for anyone who is willing to be tested.

The Cost of Procrastination (2006 Taxes)

Well I've finally completed my taxes for 2006! Nothing like waiting till the last moment. This issue is something that really bothers me because it tends to come up in other areas in my life. Waiting for things to happen; putting off what is painful. This year I knew that I would owe taxes and I didn't want to address it in the spring. "Too much going on" was my rationale. Now I'm drained, tired, and frustrated b/c I wonder if I could have "missed something". I don't really think that I did in terms of all the major items. I only hope that our politicians in Washington and Lansing know what the are doing with our tax dollars. Sometimes I wonder. That it for tonight. Lesson Learned: Don't procrastinate - its usually not worth it.
