I agree with what you...Nancy,what a great posting. I agree with what you say. I'm not sure free health insurance would push me from a no to a yes. I'm sure many of us who know you and Uncle Jim have thought on this long and hard since you made your decision to give one of your kidneys to Uncle Jim. For me, yes, being certain I was cared for as I recuperated and yes, knowing that others had been successful. But the financial incentive is a powerful one. As someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, making a committment such as this without knowing I was secure financially during the surgery and recuperation would be a big deal -- home care wouldn't be enough -- I'd need to know my bills were being paid, my rent covered. Ultiamately, though, I expect love is the big clincher in a deal like this. <BR/><BR/>I'm thrilled things are going so well with your recuperation, as with Uncle Jim's. Sending much love -- BethSnarfffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144682012411736172noreply@blogger.com
