This was a hot mess with the vein punctured through-and-through and my not noticing it and doing something about it right away. This was my 65th or thereabouts donation according to OneBlood but that does not count the few donations to LifeSouth and Tampa Bay area donation centers in visits after I gave them the donation estimate in 2007.
The vein has only been skewered through like this three times in the about 72 times I have tried to donate blood.
I will have to take a break for my arm to heal completely though for 56 days.
I did get to watch 30 minutes of
The Descendants but probably would have had my arm explode if we continued all the way through it. My high pain threshold is not an asset is certain situations like this one.
I will be the 56 year old male Villager who looks like he came out of a
Walking Dead set-- at least my arm anyway-- for a few weeks. I am not craving brains though.
