MarSea Modest Swim & Gymwear for women & girls

Modest swimwear is not just for those who wish to cover for religious reasons.  One may wish to cover for personal reasons, to protect one from the sun, to cover age/weight/medical related imperfections, or for feminist reasons.  Even for religious reasons, there is such a variety of what one's religion dictates.  Some require covering their elbows, some not.  Some require covering their knees, again some not, etc.

Kidney Donation

I don't know how to blog but here I go.  If this ends up in cyberspace and people read it , then kol hakavod to me!!  I wanted to write about donating my kidney.  I was inspired by hearing someone I respect talk about how she had to raise money and fly to S. Africa to have a kidney transplant, otherwise her health would fail and she would not live very long.  Then I saw an email from KidneyMitzvah.com seeking someone with blood type O+ to donate a kidney to a 47 yr old mother with 6 kids.  I inquired about this last Oct/10, and one thing led to another.  Now, let me say, as an Anglo (English speaking ) Olah Chadasha (new immigrant ) to Israel, the thought of dealing with the medical establishment alone scared me off.  Then I was connected to the mother of the recipient, and she took charge of advising me what tests I needed to get, drove me to appointments, anything to make it easier for me to move forward. with this.  I was under no "legal" obligation to donate throughout this process.  I wasn't even approved as a match until March/11.  But by then I knew that I was committed, I just didn't want to get too excited about it until it was a reality.  So then, nothing happened.  Purim came/went.  Pesach (Passover) came/went.  I wanted the transplant to occur in the winter or early spring, when business was slow.  We manufacture modest swimwear in Israel.. (MarSea Modest Swimwear www.MarSeaModest.com) and I was (and am) worried of how my impending transplant will affect my business.  I won't be so available to advise women and help them select and try on our styles.
We hope to be busy in May/June/July/August G*d willing, and the later I get slotted to donate, the more into swim season we will be.  I understand that I should be in the hospital for 3-4 days, and should be able to walk around / sit around also within a few days, but I wouldn't be able to work the long hours as I am accustomed to.  But, as my potential transplant date nears, (May 17/11 IY"H), I look forward to doing this great Mitzvah of hopefully saving/prolonging a woman/mother's life.
