Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
We had a Christmas party last night.
Almost all of the invited guests showed up and that's good considering that I made the invitation calls just five days in advance.
My wife put out a spread of food that was quite frankly too much.
A group of us and guests went Christmas carolling at a retirement home in downtown La Jolla. Even if we didn't sing that great, the people that came out of their rooms were all wearing smiles.
Our guests had a great time - I say great because we had one couple leave to go to a San Diego Gulls hockey game and returned later. Additionally, most people stayed until 4:00 am - I had gone to bed around midnight cause I wasn't feeling too hot.
I was a sucess because everyone was drinking and having a great time chatting with our other guests; everyone was invited to a New Year's bash that the Mad Mikey family was going to attend.....my wife told some of the guests about the long process of my trying to get a kidney transplant (I usually don't spout off about my medical problems to everyone I meet....too much to tell and I don't like 'whining' about it. But the end result is that three of our guests are going to make initial inquires about being possible donors.
The only ones who didn't enjoy the party were my cats: they hid under our bed all night.
My wife also made some new business contacts - mostly mutual friends of some of the guests that are looking for some sort of insurance. Still: networking is networking.
So today, the entire family is going into 'lazy bum' mode. We'll mostly sit around and veg out - the wife and kid are going to snuggy up our bed and watch a DVD on my notebook. Hell, even the cats are going into 'lazy bum' mose.
And me? I'll probably get all propped up in my 'comfy chair' and watch some Sci Fi Channel or maybe something on the History Channel - stuff that the rest of the family consider 'boring'....
Here's some info for ya....

See! It does pay to advertise!
Don't think about advertising your condition as whining! Encourage Organ Donation wherever/when ever you can!
I wish you well my friend! I hope at least one of those 3 folks is compatible in some way. Don't let the zero point match thing scare you off either. A living donor is the most successful, and best way to go!

Seriously though, educate us:
What does it take in order to get a donor kidney? What sort of stuff has to match? Write an entry about it, wouldja? Because until it happens to us, we'll never find out.
Thanks and good luck.
