Gee... thanks... I guess...

So I gave platelets today at the Red Cross, as I'm wont to do. Actually there's some confusion on that. I was hooked up to an apheresis machine and they may have just taken platelets, or they may have taken plasma as well.

This poses an issue. If they just took platelets, I can donate whole blood at my next scheduled appointment on March 28th. If not, then I can't give for 28 days. The people at the center were saying I had to wait 28 days. While the person I called afterwards, to reschedule my appointment, said I was fine.

Hmmm...

Anyways, I received the usual free gifts. For doing apheresis, I got a little thermal lunch tote, which is nice. For donating in general, I got a ball cap.

But it's too small for my head. ...sigh...
