Michelle signed us up to give blood today because there was a bus in the neighborhood. We showed up early to Ahmadiyya Movement Inc. Mosque on 35th where the drive was taking place and waited to donate. Two different people that donated had bad reactions to the procedure and one ended up being sent to the hospital via ambulance. Another was just a bit nauseous, and was just hanging out on the bus. Needless to say, there was a bit of a wait.
The food offerings for donors was much cooler than usual, and it was a potluck of homemade Mughal style cuisine. After the nearly 2 hours of waiting to donate, then paperwork and donating, we got to have some of the food, and it was great. It certainly beat the typical krispy kreme glazed donuts.
When told to drink plenty of fluids, I pointed out that beer was mostly water. My bleeder said she would pretend she hadn’t heard that. On a previous visit, the technician said that’s how he and his friends would get a cheap buzz.
Hey, that’s a great concept. We can practice bloodletting before drinking. It could save a ton of money when attempting to get buzzed or wasted. Anyone have any leeches?
