Jchic - I'm so excited it is consult week! Yay- it seemed to go pretty fast so hopefully the rest of our time goes by quickly too.
Haj - Wowza that is a lot of blood!! they took about 15 from me and I almost fainted I had to stop half way thru and rest and the tubing from the needle started shaking like crazy (I think b\c I was getting nervous and my heart started beating really fast) I'm sure you are glad that is over with.
