...I gave blood today. Pint #50? (Odds left, evens right.)

I think the guy I got was new. He took my word that he'd have an easier time with my right arm, although he thought the veins looked better in the left. (There have been days that my veins are a real challenge.) He was very hesitant, but to my surprise he managed to get very good flow on his first stick. But he didn't keep watch, and the flow dropped off and there was air in the tube. I don't think the bag ever tripped the scale. I wonder what they do with short pints?

And apparently I've been having a stealth nosebleed since I got home, but it's winter.

blood, donate, nosebleeds, commute
