Conquering My Fears, One Baby Step at a Time

I have always been a bit of a baby when it comes to blood--I am definitely the squeamish type! I will go snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, absailing in the Blue Mountains, skiing in the Rocky's, and white water rafting in Upstate New York but I will also cry and hyperventilate if you try to take a vile of blood, that is I used to . . .

While I have not yet seen the benefits of a college degree (having been a graduate for all of 4 days) but if graduating from MSU has given me anything, it is the ability to get my blood taken--this morning for the first time in my life I got my blood taken without the flooding the doctors office with tears and sending the nurses running. This is a major life accomplishment, and one that I am way more proud of than graduation! I may even consider giving blood now, well we will see . . .

  1. I can't believe it, look at you! I'm going to drag you along to give blood next time you are in EL. I also love how this is tagged under "blood"
