Sorry it's been a while since I've updated. There hasn't been much going on with the transplant process since I received my clearance. I do have to give a pint of blood to have on hand during the surgery and this will likely happen sometime this week. Other than that...it's just getting my sister's train ticket booked and stocking up on the snacks!
We had about 4.5 inches of snow today and I am again reminded of the beauty of nature and the joy that Spring will bring. After a 70 degree day last Friday, everyone around here has Spring Fever.
I have been asked by several people who have read the blog or heard about my donation how to go about donating. Well, it's fairly easy. And its FREE right now if you sign up by the end of February. For the month of February, in honor of Black History Month, Nordstrom has offered to cover the $100 donation processing cost up to $75,000. If you are interested in being placed on the National Bone Marrow Registry, please visit: http://www.marrow.org/JOIN/Join_Now_Sponsored/nordstrom2011/join_now.html and sign up for FREE before the end of the month. It is a quick and painless cheek swab that takes about 2 minutes to complete. All you have to do is request the kit, swab your cheek, mail it in and keep them updated with your current contact information. Before you know it, you may help save a life!
I hope you're having a blessed Tuesday!
