I wanted to give on my birthday, and several people gave me that opportunity!
Christy, Head of Health Services, accompanied me, driving The Regency car which she can do on Saturdays. Afterwards she treated me to an ice cream sundae at Sub Zero, where they freeze their ice cream with nitrogen while you watch! The Red Cross gave me a red long-sleeved T-shirt and allowed me to take photos with my right hand while they took blood from my left arm!
Back home by 2 o'clock I'm having fun processing the almost 50 pictures I took ~ some of which will be showing up in the 115 Pictures group. (Yeah, I know I'm wearing a purple shirt, but I'd already uploaded the picture I'd taken of the wheel cover. I'll have to use this shirt on another day for the 365 Days in Colour group!)
It's a beautiful day all around! I'm having a simply splendid birthday!
Other than raising my children and teaching other people's children, this is the most important thing that I do. I started at age 19 during a college blood drive. I have now donated whole blood 19 times, on top of 88 platelet donations for leukemia patients, for a total of 107 donations.
A special "thank you" to Terri, the Red Cross nurse who gladly allowed me to photograph the moment of needle insertion. I showed her my 365 pin and described the purpose of the 365 Days project and she was more than willing to let me take the shot.

Every two months, I organize a group women to donate blood. We bring appetizers to enjoy while chatting and waiting for the rest of the group to finish (pictured above). Then, we head to a local restaurant for a casual dinner. We've been having "Blood Dinners" for just over a year (last night was the seventh) and have donated over 4 gallons of blood. A fun way to see friends and do a good dead! You in to host a "Blood Dinner"?
The threat of the spread of the human form of mad cow disease is preventing some military retirees from donating blood.
New Food and Drug Administration standards also prevent some retirees from donating blood. The agency set guidelines as a precautionary measure against exposure to the disease. The FDA restricts donations from people who lived or traveled in these places during certain timeframes.
The Department of Defense also issued a policy based on the FDA rules. It prevents retirees, military members and their families who meet any of the following criteria from donating blood:
* Traveled or lived in Europe from 1980 through 1996 for a cumulative period of six months or more.
I live there from 1986 - 1988
(01:22) Contains scenes of blood, viewer discretion is advised. My friend Tricia and I went to the Canadian Blood Services to donate some blood tonight. I got rejected because I travelled to a country with malaria risk (Dominican Republic) within the last year. In just a couple more weeks I'll be eligible again.
