Nerves!

actionfigurestepho · 11-21-2005, 12:48 PM

My brother went in for his first series of testing today, to see if he can legitimately be my donor. He said it wasn't that horrible, but we're all so nervous! They're testing him for everything under the sun, and on top of that he had to see a counselor, the same lady I yelled at when I had to see her. Apparently she was just as much of a stupid bi--- I mean, a concerned yet stern older woman *cough*--to him as she was to me.

We're just all so nervous! He's the best match for me, and probably the healthiest of my matches, and this is just taking way too long. I don't suppose there's anything we can do but wait, but in the meantime I'm developing a wonderful case of the hives. Grrr!

I feel your pain Stepho, many people in the "medical" field even clerical ones are in the wrong profession. As they seem to have no compasion for the people who are as you said nervous! I'm myself am nervous when ever it comes to any kind of medical procedure, even "testng"! Wishing all goes good for you & your loving brother!

Lots of prayers and good thoughts, just the usual red tape you must wade through-nursie poos and all! Your brother will do fine when confronting that certain woman!
