It is Tuesday, only 36 hours before I need to report to Hahnemann Hospital for check-in and I've been unusually quiet, short and a little cranky. Oh, and I've bitten all my fingernails. Grr!
Everyone kept telling me that I would get nervous and anxious as donation day approached. I said, it's not that big of a deal. Well, they were right, and I was optimistic. (notice I didn't say wrong!) I've been fighting a pinched nerve in my back and neck. Last night's yoga practice felt awesome, but actually moved the knot up into my jaw and ear. NOT FUN...especially when I can't take any pain meds which will thin the blood. Anyway, I've decided to take tomorrow off of work so I have a little break and can prepare for the donation. I'm also hoping to have some quality time with the little sister before the pain meds take over.
I am still humbled and honored by this opportunity. I am overwhelmed with joy when I imagine the opportunity God is giving LG through this experience and so thankful for what I have learned as well. I plan to blog more in-depth tomorrow so stay tuned! Now I'm off to eat at my favorite restaurant in Philly, Dinardo's Famous Crabs and then stop by Rita's Water Ice for my sister. It's like a last supper! :-)
Still...a (slightly anxious) joyful donor!
