How to give blood by Mike

"ZOMG THAT'S A HUGE NEEDLE!"

How I did it: I think the gauze pressing on my arm hurts more than getting pricked did.  They asked me if I'd had sex with anybody for money or drugs after 1977.  What, if it happened before 1977 it doesn't count? what's so magical about 1977? (the answer is no, BTW...)

I was worried that my iron would be too low, but the drop of my blood in the solution dropped like a rock, so that wasn't a problem (I wonder if it's more of a problem for women?) 

Just ask a bunch of silly questions, try to remember if you've been out of the country in the past 3 years, then they STICK YA.  Then you get cookies. :)

Mike I'm an INTJ. Guess I should give that some thought.

Thanks!

re: Iron deficiency, thanks for explaining that. I was really surprised that it wasn’t an issue, because I don’t eat red meat, shellfish, or leafy greens. The former two aren’t too bad, but I’ve got to work on the latter. ;)
