Decisions, decisions
I am contemplating making a very serious decision and would really like your opinion. I am going to discuss it with my husband, family, and friends (including you all).
I am thinking about being a Marrow Donor. I am not doing (career wise) what I really have dreamed of since I was five years old. Because of certain circumstances I do not believe that I would be able to go back and try to do it. This particular occupation happens to do things that really make a difference to some people. You can look at it and see that you are not making a difference and look at it and see that you are making a difference to particular people even though they may never notice, want, or appreciate it.
So I think this will satisfy my need to have done something in my life that will make a difference. I know that having kids is a great and wonderful thing and that will be awesome but I want to do something else that is awesome as I am not having kids for another few years. And the thought of having the chance to save someone's life fills me with a contentment I do not feel otherwise. So what do you guys think about it? What are your opinions of that. I would be listed in the Marrow Donor registry until I am 60 years old. And the pain of donation does not matter to me. So I really would love a reply and opinions about it. And if you know anybody who has done it, know somebody who has been a recipient or is thinking about donating tell me about it. I really want to do my research.
