It was just starting to swell and turn red. Charli and Juanita immediately unhooked me. I did get in my donation, but I cannot donate again for 8 weeks, Mid October.
I donated platelets yesterday but cannot go back again until very late October. Probably because of the volume limitations. My stays on the chair are often quite long with me doing double or even triple units.
