I'm back from the absolutely beautiful wedding of my sister-in-law. It was such a fun weekend and I love hanging out with my husband's side of the family. The DJ played our first dance song from two years ago and my husband and I had to go out on the dance floor. So sweet. They also did a tribute "The Hokie Pokie" to all the Virginia Tech Hokies in the wedding and in general.
The only drama of the weekend was the Best Man who was an absolute womanizing ass. He brought his girlfriend, but hit on all of us and even physically grabbed us. One of the many times he hit on me (while my husband and sister-in-law were there) was when he picked me up and grabbed me and then asked, "Are you scared of me?" I said, "No, I'm not scared of any man," to which he replied, "You will be scared of me." I just rolled my eyes as he put me down and said, "I don't think so." Oh, the list goes on, but I won't relay it all here.
Nobody in my family said anything insensitive about my surgery. I was quite pleased. My husband's grandma grew up by Carmelite nuns, and she has been in contact with them and they will spend June 5th praying for me in my surgery and apparently I am going to receive some holy water. She actually had them do this for my thyroid surgery too and it went very well, so whatever works - I'll take all the prayers I can get! :)
Yesterday I had my first blood donation. I thought I was doing so well until about half way through when I got really nauseous and hot. The nurses laid me down and put cold compresses on me. I actually recovered fairly quickly, but then it took a long time to actually get up and go get some snacks because I kept getting dizzy and nauseous. I'm not looking forward to the next two Mondays when I have to do this again. My husband says that this reaction is actually quite normal.
Wow - almost a month. I'm starting to get some of my anxiety symptoms back. I'm so busy though with the end of the semester I'm just feeling overwhelmed. I can't believe this is all happening. Really. :(

I had a big ol' steak the night before my blood dontions & big breakfasts before I went to to do the 'blood' thing.. It helps. Still I felt tired by mid afternoon, so lie down if you can....Lynne
Your experience with your blood donations sounds an awful lot like mine. I was exhausted for the next 2 days. Glad the wedding was a lot of fun. That's exactly what we all need before the "big day". Lots and lots of fun and time spent with those we love.
The best man sounds like a total ass. If it were me, I'd have had a couple of mojito's and let him have it. He would have been afraid of me!
