So I just did something that I've been thinking about doing for a while ...
... and filled out an application with the National Marrow Donor Program to get tested to see if I would be a likely donor.
Granted, it's entirely possible they'll test me and find out I'm not good for it health-wise (which wouldn't be surprising, even though the website's guidelines give me the impression that I should be able to), or that it won't come to anything, but I think about doing it every once in a while and never actually go through the first step of actually asking for the donor testing kit. But now it's scheduled to be mailed to me in about a week, so that's that.
I mean, hell, I've donated plasma and blood and I'm an organ donor. Might as well sign up for this, too, while I'm at it. :)
