I'm donating platelets next month. I'm a 'hard stick' so I try to space it out. It's a bit less of an ordeal now that I can watch a movie from a player right at my recliner. Goes much faster.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I went and donated today! My hemoglobin was low last time, but I was good today. Mom is on her sixth or seventh transfusion.

About halfway done!

They couldn't get a vein on my left arm, so we're having to make do with one feed...

You guys are awesome. I have a history of passing out when I donate so it has been a long time.

I hope everything goes well for your mom, Shell B <3

You’re a fucking champ! I can’t wait to show my mom tomorrow. She has many bags every day. It’s keeping her alive. You’re saving people’s fucking lives. I love you, man. Right now, I’m a blubbering asshole. This is so fucking kind.
