Day four, part two

Well, the nurse this morning said that the shots today would get to me, and she was right. For most of the day, I didn't really know if I felt any more pain anywhere, but overall I just felt wiped out. My wife and I kind of knew that today was probably going to be a slow day so we didn't plan on anything in particular. After the injections, we walked to The Old Stone House, which is the only pre-Revolutionary War building in the area.

After this we walked down to the Potomac river and had brunch at Chadwicks, and then saw Divergent at the AMC. Even though we didn't walk nearly as much as yesterday, and sat in the theater, I still felt pretty worn out. We had an early dinner, came back to the hotel and just watched Netflix for a while and going to sleep early tonight, around 10:00. 

I have been taking Calcium supplements for almost a week now, and will be bringing the bottle with me tomorrow. I'll get up around 5:45 in the morning to get all my things together, and meet the staff in the lobby at 7:00. I'm getting just a little nervous, not about doing the donation, but just having the needles in my arms for hours. I think once it gets started, I'll be fine. 

Thinking again of the recipient and what might be going on while I'm hooked up to the machine. I will be so happy when I see my stem cells in the bag, going away with the courier and on the way to help them.
