I gave blood yesterday with carl, dave, and deanna. Not only did i give blood, but i gave a double shot of red blood cells which involves being hooked up to the apheresis machine for 30 minutes. they take blood out, separate the plasma from the red blood cells, then put the plasma back. the plasma looks like pee. the only drawback is i have to wait twice as long to give again.
dave didn't look good, got up and went to the cookie table in another room. after 10 minutes a bell rings and a bunch of people rush out. they wheel dave back in the asylum chair and dave looks half dead / half crazy. he then has to lay upside down with his legs in the air like he is trying to get pregnant for about 20 minutes. at least he said that he's gonna try again.
