Sign in to disble this ad
So I've been prep-ing for the last few months to be able to give my sister a kidney. She had a really bad case of pneumonia when she was 16 that did a number on her kidneys, and they finally failed a few years ago. After she had been on a donor list for a while with no luck, I figured why not give her mine?
So I'm going to tomorrow morning. It's going to be a boring few days in the hospital, and there's no way to access the internet, so no TB for me for a few days. Bummer. 
Anyway, wish me luck, and I'll talk to you guys in a few days!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Coeur d'Alene | | Thanks a lot guys! I've never owned an iPod beyond the shuffle, because I've just never bothered until now. I just got one, and am currently loading it for the boring hospital stay. I'm making sure to put on some really 60s-like music so that I can have a good time with the xBox and some pain meds. 
I'll post some cool "after pictures" when I get out.
