Day 5/Extraction Preview

I'm pretty tired today, which seems funny because I've literally been in bed all day long. So I'm going to give you all the details tomorrow. But here's a picture so you can get an idea of what it was like for me! I was nearly finished when this picture was taken, so I'm definitely not looking my best. You can see the return line there in my left arm, but my right arm, where the blood was drawn, is covered up. That is the machine I was hooked up to. As I said, I'm feeling tired and my arm where the blood was drawn (which had to remain straight for 5 and a half hours) is a bit stiff, other than that, I feel pretty good! And it was a success!

Wow. That is so incredibly amazing of you. I hope one day I can be that generous, selfless, and brave for someone I don't even know. Thank you so much for sharing that experience and letting me in on it. I am so glad you are done and hope you are feeling back to normal. Lots of Love.
