So slightly on hold while I deal with other stuff.. My cousin is down to 15% efficiency in one kidney. I'm O positive, so I'm going through the tests to see if I can donate one of mine.
I'd be working on these in the mean time, but the stress of realizing it's going to cost me about $2500 to save my cousin's life is making it difficult to create. We live from check to check, so I've got to figure out how to make up five weeks pay in order to do this.

Why would it cost $2500?

donating organs is elective surgery.
Do you also have to pay for the testing?

No, all of the surgery is paid for by the recipient's insurance. You have to take 5-7 weeks to recover. There's no pay for lost wages while recovering. Insurance will not pay for it. At best your employer might be obligated to let you keep your job by the Family Medical Leave Act, but only if you are donating to an immediate relative (cousins are not included).

So there's no way to maintain your income while your body adjusts to only having one kidney. The process leaves you exceptionally tired and weak, feeling all the time like you have a bad cold or the flu.

Average 6ft 6 inches; with the high heels this one is almost 7ft tall. I dated a girl like that once... we were in different places with our lives so we didn't have a second date. It was weird being the short one (I'm 6'1")

I have to admit that were I single, I'd be inclined to sample every shape and size.. Taller than me has always been attractive (I'm a hair under 6ft).

Almost finished with the first set of Zhodani, but I took a break this weekend and started my first set of real deck plans; I give you the Standard Mercantile.
