My Marrow.

Well last Tuesday I donated my bone marrow you a 37 year old gentleman with leukemia. It was over all an interesting and very rewarding experience. I would totally do it again without having to think about it.

People ask, why? I say, why not? It is a little more taxing on your body than donating blood but, in then end totally worth it. People ask, did it hurt? Well, I was asleep during so I did not feel anything until I woke up. I was expecting the worse pain so when it felt real sore and stiff but no real extreme pain (like I was expecting) I was needless to say, relieved. I would encourage anyone to donate, check out the NMDP (National Marrow Donor Program). They are great, the took really good care of me through out and after the whole process. Check out My Flickr, they put me up in a hotel so I would not have to fight morning commuter traffic in the morning. Or if you are interested sign up with the Red Cross and donate some blood you never know who’s life you could touch.
