I am 28 years old, married, and facing one of the toughest challenges of my life - scoliosis surgery. My surgery will occur on June 5, 2007. This is a journal of my journey pre- and post-surgery (probably with other thoughts too).
Here we go. . .

2nd Blood Donation
Ok, this time I was a rock star! I refused to feel ill and actually the ten minutes flew by as I chatted with my husband and the nurse. This experience was so much better than last week. One more to go! I can do it!!!! :)

Hey hon! I know I am late in coming to this blog (thanks grad school!) but I just wanted to tell you that I count you among the bravest people I know and while I may not talk to you often you are often in my thoughts.
I have been through the fainting/nausea blood donation thing and beleive or not eating red meat a couple of times in the days leading up to the donation helps. I have been told it is an iron thing, but red meet does more than high iron veggies. It's just a thought.
