drained
Calling all who didn't grow up in a third world country and have malaria every other week!
The Blood Mobile will be at Piney Grove this Saturday morning. I'm planning to eat a very large breakfast (so I won't pass out again) and then give blood. They give you a free snack and everything.
Y'all call me if you're feeling heroic and want to save someone's life...

i want to save someones life( but i can't give blood,i'll just watch you).
I salute you.
I once heard coffee was good to help keep upright after giving blood.Hydration always helps! Good for you Carroll!
Sorry, Elizabeth. I know you have to weigh a certain amount in order to give blood. I am, of course, WAY over that weight limit but still can't give blood due to the whole 3rd world country and malaria thingie. But you guys enjoy yourselves:)
Sign me up!
Joy - I'm going around 10:30...so come on over! (just remember that once you give it, you can't suck it back out of the bag...)
yeah and we all know that I am WAY toooo little...
I'm also well over the weight limit (ahem), but won't be joining you due to the whole malaria thing. Apparently, if I even try to give blood, it's a felony (some law they passed a while back when AIDS patients were knowingly giving blood for money). Oh, well - I guess it's too bad that I won't be able to enjoy someone poking me with a needle to extract fluids. Bummer.
**UPDATE**
They got about 8 tablespoons of blood out, then I came dangerously close to passing out. Long story short, I have to go give platelettes now, instead of whole blood. *SIGH*
Awww Carroll! Was Max with you to save you this time? A friend of mine at school had a really bad case of leukemia, and she had a dog that went with her all the time because he could sense if she was about to pass out, and he would guide her to a chair before she did.
awww...that's such a nice story Joy!
