I could go in today according to the OneBlood scheduling page. I will wait though about ten more days. I am set to go in for platelets a little after the 4th of July. I have four appointments set up for platelets this summer.

The pain was the telltale sign that something was wrong.

There might not have been anything wrong Thursday but I just did not want to take a chance. All the donations over the years have made it kind of hard to get through the veins due to scarring. So, it sometimes hurts at the time of the needle stick but soon stops. Thursday it continued for a while.
