Would You? Could You?

Would You? Could You? Dare You?

As a small challenge, I would ask of you to think about the feasibility of sitting in a recliner for 8 hours at a time.  You cannot stand up or get out of the chair.  You must keep your dominant arm straight and not move it at all.  You will need to exercise self control if needing the bathroom.  You will need to only snack while in the chair.  For 8 hours?  No? Okay, how about 4 hours? Better.  Will you be able to read a book one-handed (you cannot move your dominant arm)?  Will you be able to get on your laptop? Watch movies one armed? Watch TV? 

Think about this for a small moment.

Now try to fit this into your work schedule? Picking up kids from school and getting them to their karate lessons? Every other day.  If you don't go, you risk death.  You must schedule everything else around these three days per week.  Every week.  Regardless of holidays, birthdays etc. 

Think you could do it for one day?

How about 3 days a week, FOREVER? 

Sound like fun?

More than 400,000 people in America can do this.  Is it fun? NO! Do they do it anyway? Yes!

Would You? Could You sign YOUR organ donor card?  

Would You? Could You consider being a living donor? Would you consider giving away one of your kidneys, part of your liver, bone marrow to give life to another?

Think about it.  Do it!

Blessings, 
Amy
