Not very often but yesterday I shocked Phil. I told him I needed a few minutes away from the kids to do my donor card. He stopped dead in his tracks............"donor card for what!!!"
I have decided to be a bone marrow donor.
Phil looked at me and said, "You know if you have to donate it really hurts right?"
I explained to him that there are actually two different ways that your marrow can be taken and yes one of them is very painful but one is not. The one that is not is more common practice.
What Phil doesn't know is that I tried to do this once before and I could not get to the be the match program at the hospital. So I contacted the hospital and asked them how I could still sign up. I went out to the be the match web page and signed up. I received my packet in the mail and within five minutes I was done.
There is nothing really spectacular about me, I am just an average white female, so I would be really shocked if I was contacted. But I can say I signed up and am on the list just in case. So you will see the Be the Match link down the side of my blog for anyone looking for more information on it.
TTFN~
