spread the word

I had treatment Tuesday.  It was a long day for Dad and me.  We arrived at 10:30 a.m. and left at 5:00 p.m.  Gah.  While there I came across an amazing article in Marie Claire about the bone marrow donation process and how to join the registry.  I was so moved by the article that I posted it on the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's facebook page.  Within 9 hours 92 people 'liked' the post and there are 24 comments.  I am so glad I shared it.  I also plan to give the article to the staff at Northwestern in case they want to spread the good word too.  At this time I do not need a transplant, and I really really really really hope it stays that way.  But there are lots of people out there that do and that has to be a tough place to be in.  There are always blessings to be counted.

I'm excited for this weekend - Ross will be in town! I also get to see my friend that was in NYC for a long chunk of time. It's amazing the affect certain people have on your mood. Again, count the blessings.

Well, it's time for bed. I am tired and my stomach's doing flip flops. So I figure sleep is a great way to stop this gymnastics show.
