My blood plasma is yellow! How cool is that?This evening I was a first-time platelet donor. It was neat. My arm is stiff because it took over an hour, but it was fascinating to watch the plasma separated from the whole blood. I think I'll do it again some time.
I like the plasma process more than the pint process. Did you feel great after?
ReplyDeletei use to give all the time, then i started fainting...so i could not give anymore.
ReplyDeleteit made me feel so good about doing it.
the more you give, the more you want to!
good job gal!
Aww, that is very kind of you, I have always wanted to do it, but I am scared I donate blood is it the same? I dont know the process for the plasma donation, I would like to do it!!
ReplyDeleteI tried donating blood once, but the woman missed and I wasn't able to donate. Instead, I got a huge bruise that didn't go away for a month (or more). It turned me off the process completely.
ReplyDeleteI knew, I knew...lol, do you know how many of those suckers I have either inventoried, handled frozen and then thawed for patients, too many to count. Thank you for donating, with the H1N1, there has been a shortage of donors. Next time I am in Blood bank working, I will think of you.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is, I can't donate, I have a false positive blood test that precludes me from donating. My son does it for me!
