Good luck to those donating today and especially tomorrow.


I will be donated platelets next week.
Hope they have some nice goodies and say hi to Blanca, Charlie, Mary, and Juanita, Frank and the others for me. I go by Jon there.
Is tomorrow a special donating day?

Years ago I used to donate plasma or platelets often but stopped as it seems that it might have negative consequences on your lymphocyte count. Have you researched this? There used to be a waiver NY Blood had me sign before donating platelets and plasma.


Edit, seems they eliminated that issue...

Effect of long-term platelet donation on lymphocyte subsets and plasma protein concentrations. - PubMed - NCBI

Who is the hottest nurse with a skinny needle so I can ask for her? Is this same donation place on 441 left of publix?
